Hidden Shorelines is a series that began in 2020 during the global shutdown, shaped by isolation, uncertainty, and extended time spent inward. The work reflects on the act of connecting with the subconscious, understood as a space one can only enter alone—like wading into the sea, where there is a limit to how far the body can safely go.

Throughout the series, animals move back and forth through shallow water, pausing at the horizon line as they look toward a distant, unresolved future. The shoreline becomes a threshold between the known and the imagined, a place where ideals and desires are quietly negotiated. Within this internal landscape, fantasies function as realities, existing most clearly beneath conscious thought.

Some figures struggle against the waves while others remain close to shore, suggesting different approaches to risk, longing, and self-preservation. Scattered among them is human detritus, marked with obscured lettering that drifts through the scenes. This fragmented text operates less as language and more as symbol, inviting viewers to engage intuitively. Like tarot archetypes, the obscured words are meant to trigger personal associations, guiding the viewer toward their own subconscious interpretations rather than fixed meanings.
