The figure holds the edge. The ocean holds everything that has not happened yet.

Artist statement from the works' metadata
A forceful mind treatment.
Quarantine days gave us time we had never had before to think about the maze of our existence: how we solve our problems, why things keep happening, who we share these thoughts with, and what kind of future we desire.
To keep myself sane, I watched the ocean from my balcony on the 25th floor. I saw people trying to shed their stress for a few minutes in their own ways. Although they were outside, their moments felt extremely private.
I photographed from far enough away not to disturb their treatment and high enough not to disclose their identities. The figures stay in the corner while the ocean occupies the frame, holding the relationship between them and the future they hope to live through.
