The Betrayal of Man

 You can see the struggle, the ocean has grown tired of fighting off the temptress, who is created from Oil, Corruption, Reproduction and Pollution. The surfer is torn between his love for the temptress and his love for the ocean. He has fought many battles with his conscience and is beginning to take the side of the ocean. The mermaid is born from a barrel of oil. As she touches the water it is poisoned. The Latin phrase on the surfboard means: "Do not hand us over to a bitter death" and on the book: "Whom shall we seek as help?"
