Adrift

The expected makes me uncomfortable.

I find my seed in belonging; I find my intention within the paradox of “being” versus “longing.” Through my journey to India, I have observed I feel most comfortable when I am adrift. Within this culminating installation Adrift, there is a focus on contrast and how that embodies true calmness. Shunryu Suzuki says, “Calmness of mind does not mean you should stop your activity. Real calmness should be found in activity itself.” Using this intimately immense concept while focusing on the contrast it naturally creates, this performative installation was my visual journey of be-longing.
