This series is a look at sedentary lifestyle, loneliness, forced confinement, and suspended relationships that characterize this era. The suffering, apathy, and depression that this new routine can generate led me to the question: are human beings, as isolated individuals, still human? Physical activity is reduced to the space of an apartment, of a bed, but at the same time the mind is more active, occupying territories that the body abandons. Energies are lacking, but dreams abound, the mind begins to travel on its own, remembering the past, imagining worlds where one can live with little effort. Hopefully I can float in the sea and be transported like jellyfish…
As human beings we need to maintain and implement social, community and solidarity bonds, and don’t fall into the trap of individualism. If the risk of this time is to become bodies alone, the sea metaphorically represents hope: that it is not only a place of abandonment or a barrier between islands, but a territory to cross and overcome distances.
