Drifted;

In Drifted;, I explore the connection between my childhood and the present. Marked by a semicolon, my entity is an incomplete and evolving story. I remember the open sea on a cruise my sister and I took as a child when life seemed endless. Oceanic blues capture that feeling. We were free then, unburdened by the constraints, which now seem inescapable. Water, flowing and ever-adapting, mirrors that freedom, yet its easily polluted fragility reveals our vulnerability. Fishnet-like ropes weave through the piece, catching memories like fragments in a wave. I use torn cloth to reflect this past, bringing playfulness and longing, as we often do when remembering a simpler time. Like the innocence of youth, the nets contain fragments of my past and resound with the cry for ocean preservation, illustrating our interdependence with the enormous, unseen realms.
