The Red Square in Blue

In a harbour where nothing ever changes, Finn arrives with the tide - a young sailor on a steel vessel older than himself. The Havn welcomes him with smiles, rituals, and rules, promising peace for those who do not question.

But peace, Finn soon learns, is only the name given to fear when it wears a uniform. Behind every polite silence is an older current - one that pulls the curious away from shore.

The Red Square in Blue is a philosophical allegory set against a maritime world that mirrors our own: ordered, efficient, and quietly drowning in its own perfection. Through sparse prose and sea-worn reflection, JEMA explores the tension between belonging and freedom, obedience and thought - between the red square and the blue that surrounds it.

A book for readers who sense that stillness is not always peace, and calm seas are never as safe as they seem.
