Lead Painted on Black Paper, Waterproof Glue, Water

184 cm × 108 cm × 9 cm

We are drifting,

We are quiet.

Sailing on the unknown,

Sailing with the unknown.

This installation, featuring 33 black paper boats of varying sizes, embodies the paradox of collective solitude. Each boat, with its waterproofed interior filled with water and holding a smaller vessel afloat, symbolizes a fragile balance between stability and chaos. Yet, the boats’ persistence against this quiet instability hints at the potential for rebirth through the creation of new values and meaning.
