‘West of the Sun, East of the Moon’ is a photography and sound installation which explores the themes of underwater sound pollution and transformation.
For this project, I explored the respect and relationship indigenous societies and ancient cultures had with water sources as they were aware of their importance for their survival. I brought the topic back to the present day by talking about underwater sound pollution and how we needed to revive a relationship of respect and gratitude towards water.
'West of the Sun, East of the Moon' was first presented as part of the group exhibition ‘Our Connection to Water’, curated by The Collective Makers and presented at the Greenwich Maritime Museum in London, which attracted 154 000 visitors from March 2023 - Feb 2024 . Now, it is part of the worldwide online exhibition `Under the Sea’ (https://www.mokuartstudio.com/under-the-sea) where it was selected as the judge’s favourite by Jason deCaires Taylor and Lea Kannar-Lichtenberger.
