​About 'And he spoke to the sea'

One man's verbal conversation and dance with the ocean.

"And he spoke to the sea..." is a public viewing of private moments. The moments of anger, confusion, disbelief, frustration and sadness. But having talked to the sea and being rocked with ease, those moments transition to clarity, peace, understanding, joy and forgiveness of the self. The intention of this work is to show the vulnerability and freedom one feels before and after they enter the soothing waters and waves.
