Artist Statement
Breath is the first calibration as you crest the dunes. Here there is space for light to bounce back, to wander without needing to settle. Pure motion. Exhale leaves the body with a swift shiver. Salty inhale as the horizon opens and pulse slows. Thoughts ebb and flood like the tides. Moon the only timekeeper we need: Blue beyond us, blue above us, and deep blue below us.
