Alexander Sarina You Oceans Both Painting alex.c.sarina@gmail.com alexsarina.com
The ocean covers the vast majority of Earth. Yet despite being the largest entity on the surface of the planet, the watery deep is largely unexplored and unseen by surface dwellers. I am interested in heterotopias, or “other spaces.” Spaces removed from daily life where disparity breaks down and contradiction exists without hostility. The ocean is a fitting metaphor for such spaces. The deep is so otherly from the surface it seems like an alien world. This reality is seen in the denizens of the deep resisting the language and rules established on the surface. In the deep fauna and flora are often too closely allied to readily distinguish them. Many deep ones have adapted to embrace contradiction, being both male and female, sexual and asexual. You Oceans Both provides an opportunity to discover and explore another space. Dive in to experience the complexity and mystery of the both/and.
