Sensing The Sea - Xiamen

Nordic Contemporary Art Centre, 2024
In my two large paintings In You, I Am Drowning My Sorrows and In You, The Heavenly Light Reflects, I explore the dichotomy of the sea.
Looking at its surface – whether flat or wavy, calm or violent – we only see its ‘skin’. Beneath that surface, however, lies a world of possibilities. In You, I Am Drowning My Sorrows depicts sorrows left behind, guilt, and a connection to eternity, while In You, The Heavenly Light Reflects draws inspiration from a childhood story about a sailor seeking salvation in a celestial light.
The works are painted on recycled vinyl flooring.
