Lack of gravity

G.V.Actually, the sea for me is linked to childhood, even now. It has the properties to draw me back into childhood. My body becomes different – because of the gravity that is different.

The ocean is related to losing control. When I’m on earth the gravity holds everything in place. It is the lack of gravity that makes all the difference between the ocean and the earth.

As the world’s underbelly, full of unknown potential and forces. Floating: in the ocean is such an anti-gravitational experience. The older one gets, the ocean isn’t as attractive as it used to be, but as a counter to the force and effect of gravity, of aging and falling down in fact, the ocean still offers much. Though it’s more something of the past.

The feeling of weightlessness that floating engenders is similar to that of jumping off an airplane – the moment just before you open your parachute. Imagine falling/floating above the void, while you listen to the whalesongs.
