Letters from the Ocean 2021-present
US Lettre, ink on papre
Manhattan Park pool project
Given Roosevelt Island’s specific location in a tidal estuary and its fragile relation with the Atlantic Ocean, it was the perfect place to locate this installation. For the Manhattan Park pool mural, I presented a colored version of teh Lettre #7.
At the first, my plan was to scale my paper illustration to t the dimensions of the pool. But once there, I slowly began to trust the intuitive ocean-like movement of the brush, and let go of the original blueprint. In French we call it “Lâcher-prise”. Thus, every brush stroke can be seen when examined up closely, but becomes an integral part of the whole ecosystem when seen from above - water and waves of the mind, body and sea.
