This work is about the notions of gathering from the sea and the impossibilities of collecting. It is about gathering information in environments that are ever-changing and fluid, mediated by natural and human-made forces. This artwork is experimenting with an idea that you could place an entire environment in a paper net without it escaping. It is a metaphor for the idea of research in tidal environments that are ever changing.
