Marina de Oliveira Ventura Beginning my personal analysis of ‘At Land’‚the waves mean that Maya is being dragged away from her own life. When she wakes up in the beach again‚ she has the opportunity of starting all over again‚ as the water represents a new start. As we see the waves in a reverse motion‚ they look like a carpet‚ as she was privileged to start again.
