Tied to the ocean
``Beauty of expression is so akin to the voice of the sea.´´
- George Matthew Adams
The sea. Its vastness, its immensity. The horizon.
Tied to the ocean is an attempt to capture the state of sensitiveness in which you are submerged when facing the power of the sea. Living in the Andes, surrounded by mountains contrived my longing of being close to the sea. This enchantment due to the ocean´s softness, texture and cycles dwindles my anxiety of the city´s rhythm.
In some way, the ocean´s perpetual movement brings us back to the overwhelming feeling of being a part of the Whole again, escaping from the illusion of being the dominant specie of the world.
That humility conveyed by the power of the vibrance of the sea gives us back the illusion of living in a balanced surrounding. All the uncertainties and the fragility that we tend to experience by perpetual movement creates a fascination evoking our own rawness.
That possibility of becoming part of an aleatory surrounding in which freedom enables us to assume our fragility liberates us from the weights of nature´s overwhelming extents.
Tied to the ocean is a way to me of learning to respond to the vastness of the now, peacefully.
“Because I dived into the abyss I started to love the abyss of which I am made.”

“Here is a moment of extravagant beauty: I drink it liquid from the shells of my hands and almost all of it runs sparkling through my fingers: but beauty is like that, it is a fraction of a second, quickness of a flash and then immediately it escapes.”
- Clarice Lispector, A Breath of Life
