The Change in the Current

This body of work discusses the idea of emotional reincarnation. There are times in our lives when drastic events happen, and it causes us to change as people. These events can cause us to see the world differently. They are in our memories, our dreams and have an effect on daily life.

Growing up by the beach has given me many childhood memories that allowed for a strong connection to develop with the ocean. I view the beach as my church. I use the death of sea creatures as a visual tool to represent the “death” of my old self. I look at the womb as a tool to represent the “rebirth” of myself. I look at images of various structures that represent honoring someone after they die, and combine these images to evoke a spiritual experience. I recognize and embrace the importance of change.
