Composed Oceanscapes
Composed Oceanscapes (2024) are part of the Composing Oceans project. Each piece is a surreal oceanscape, played with tensions, light, and gravity. The works symbolise the complex relationship between our past and future. Everyone sometimes has the longing to linger in that moment where everything comes to a halt, where a rough sea becomes serene. These pieces result from an urge to mold that space into your surreal world. But what if you reach that place you've yearned for? Is it the ultimate escape, or does it merely exist in our imagination? The project continues the work The Narrative of Sunlight (2022); an ongoing research on escapism and the elements of the landscapes around us. With the previous work, she created a contemporary form of escapism. With Composing Oceans, she wants to ask the question: What comes after flight behavior? What does this place we long for look like?
