At The Edge (2014)
Keen on sailing lore and legends, I read that "the romantics believed seafaring gave you a sense of nearing the eternal; it was the closest to the sublime you could experience." [Edmund Burke’s Philosophical Inquiry into the Origins of our Ideas of the Sublime and Beautiful (1757)].
I personally experienced this while spending time at sea mostly alone for 27 days in a small sailboat and longed to recapture that feeling.
Bound to land life, I chose to make this series along the shore of the vast Pacific Ocean, creating images yards from shore while my children swam at arm's length just out of frame.
