Title: Elemental Man
Statement:
We are made of earth, air water and fire. Elemental. All minerals, plants and animals are made of the four essential elements also. This we have in common. During the installation on the beach, as the tide comes in, each painted band of an element could possibly be submerged. I wonder what sensation will occur within us as the incessant power of the moon pulls the waters constantly higher reaching towards the shoreline. Will the unrelenting tide bring loss, regret, cleansing, or rejoicing? Will the Elemental Man be drowned or baptized by the sea?
