Outside the Watership: A Whimsical Journey Beyond Earth’s Horizons
A new work, born of whimsical thoughts and the playful imagination, unfurls like a story within a story. It is as if the universe has gently whispered to me through the lens of my camera, inviting me to share its distant, celestial view.
This artwork, Outside the Watership, captures a moment that feels almost like an astronaut’s floating glance back at Earth from the quiet solitude of space. It is the reflection of a boat on still water, yet to me, it could be the sleek, curving hull of a spaceship, its polished surface glinting under an alien sun as it hovers just outside the reach of gravity, silently orbiting the world below.
When I kayak through the world, each photograph I take seems to encapsulate a new way of seeing—like stepping outside the boundaries of what is known, much as an astronaut might feel when leaving the comforting embrace of their spaceship and taking a step into the unknown of space. I have often felt that my perspective, with the lens of a camera in hand and the world shifting beneath me, mirrors that astronaut's detached yet intimate experience. Through these waters, I see the universe reflected back, offering glimpses of a larger story—one that stretches across time and space.
Outside the Watership is not just a photograph. It is an invitation to step into the narrative of exploration and discovery, to see the world as though we are drifting beyond it, like a spaceship on a quiet orbit, watching the ripples of life below.
