Diving Forever - animation

Built on Winter 2021

The experience

Diving forever seems to be a beautiful and poetic phrase, but it is impossible for humans to reach it. In my own imagination, being in the ocean is attractive because many possibilities can happen under the water. Ocean and sea organisms seem to exist in a totally different space from what we are facing every day in an urban city. Therefore, I built this virtual space to escape from the real world.

This space would always be there, and it would be subtle to have it in our space. People could go to it whenever they felt like they needed to be there. The beauty of this work would be its peacefulness. The peace came from the presence of water, wave, kelps, bubbles and coral reef. If we could dive forever in real life, we would stay in there forever. Ocean would always be the shelter.
