The image of an upside-down white flag, submerged in water. Deprived of its conventional semantic charge, the flag no longer signals surrender or allegiance; instead, it gestures toward a utopian condition without borders—or, more precisely, toward the dissolution of identity into a state of integral neutrality. Against systems founded on rigid territorial affiliations, the principle of freedom that governs international waters proposes a tangible alternative. The high seas, understood as res communis omnium, constitute a common good belonging to everyone, a space beyond ownership, nationhood, and exclusion.
