Shores of Limbo #5 is part of Josh Harnack’s eerie and expansive Shores of Limbo sub-series — a surreal spin-off within his unofficial collaboration project. Salvaged from a forgotten seascape, this painting is now a portal to the in-between: the place where strange creatures breach the waves beneath a sky raining fire. A whimsical sea monster takes center stage, its joy oddly at odds with the chaos surrounding it. Anchoring the madness is Harnack’s recurring symbol — a lone hot air balloon drifting above it all, representing both escape and surrender. Shores of Limbo #5 invites you to sit with paradox: joy in danger, beauty in absurdity, and control slipping quietly out to sea.
