“Stories from the Sea”
The sea is a variable. An element that cannot be contained. I place my story between an impression of solitude and tranquillity. Somewhere in between, somewhere where it is all fluid, unstable and impressionable. A metaphor for loss and search. What or who is actually the protagonist here?
It is an attempt to sketch and name emotions, to listen to the whispers of premonitions. Waiting to see what the next wave will bring, waiting in the wind….
I am pursuing a long-term project on the various ways of experiencing loneliness. After the pandemic that affected us all, some people were able to reflect on the essence of loneliness for the first time in their lives. Some were left alone with themselves, deprived of space. The aim of the planned project will be to reflect on the meaning of loneliness for me and the people I met at the seaside. It will also be an attempt to visualise my own inner experiences and those of the project’s protagonists.
