Artist Statement
Dark blue
The deep blue of the sky reflects the royal blue of the ocean. If the ocean water is clear, would my tears become royal blue if I look up at the sky?
The ocean brings me happiness, but my tears usually come from sadness. They say colors close enough blend in smoothly. So if I cry in the ocean, would my tears dissolve or isolate? Will they set me apart and show that I’m struggling or will they disguise my struggles as peace?
I tried it. I cried. The waves brushed past me as usual, ignoring my tears as if nothing had changed. The place that once made me feel alive now swallowed my sadness within, leaving no trace, no color, simply vanishing.
Is this comfort? Or is this the ocean's way of reminding me that the problems that feel so heavy are only as big as my tear drops affecting the ocean?
I knew one thing for sure: The ocean that once brought me happiness now buried the feelings I didn’t know how to carry.
