"You, The Storm" reflects on the illusion we hold of a space that seems to separate our bodies and the nature around us. In reality, we are all deeply interconnected as part of the same ecosystem. In this work, the particles that form the human silhouettes of the boat gradually merge with the particles of the stormy ocean, until you cannot distinguish what is what. Eventually, we resurface back to our every day illusion, the illusion of a separation that is more brittle than we think.
The original photo that is the base of this work was taken by Javier in the island of Bali in 2009.
