If you spend enough time thinking about it, you begin to discover the inherent rhythm that exists in everything. Human beings breathing, birds migrating, structures rising and falling, everything around us follows patterns of life and death.

None of these rhythms can go on forever, pushing and pulling through anything and everything. Things die, objects disappear, and the rhythm is interrupted and restarted constantly.

With this project, I wanted to explore that temporary connection that everything in the world has with everything else, with a particular focus on the ocean -- perhaps the most permanent rhythm of them all. I find it comforting, in those quiet moments, to realize that hardly anything will outlast the patterns of the sea. It is the unending reminder that we are never quite as large and omnipresent as we think. Simultaneously, it is comforting and terrifying.
