Etel Adnan (1925–2021), a Lebanese–American poet, and visual artist, spent her entire life exploring the sea's various symbolic meanings, both in her poems and her art. The sea was a constant narrative in her work, as she famously wrote, “to look at the sea is to become what one is.” In this paper, I will delve into Adnan's experimental poetry collection, Sea and Fog (2012), through the lens of hydro-poetics, a term borrowed from the field of Environmental Humanities. By employing this term, I aim to understand how the movements of the sea reconfigure memory, loss, and the aesthetic immersion of subjectivity in her poetry.
