Working from the positionality that all life forms are interconnected, the kinetic sculpture sea to change uses language as an oscillator to bring forward alternating messages / meanings found in vernacular phrases and idiomatic expressions as prompts to action / change and / or a paradigm shift. As such, what is written as “sea” by times is meant to be read as “see”. The semiotic interplays are intended to address the separations of “bodies from bodies” (as in us from water) that language produces and reinforces through categorizations, and to disrupt and problematize textual reading and interpretation, suggesting further intersubjectivity.
