Set of 5: 128 x 472.5 cm

The ocean I once knew sadly is no longer the same.  Time has taken its toll and with changes in the environment and human activities, our ocean has been altered forever. While its creatures and various life forms continue to fight for survival, their efforts have proven futile. Many will likely forget what lies beneath as time passes, letting these memories become myths or mere history. Perhaps there is no difference between past and present. What happens today will eventually turn into tomorrow's relics.

隨着時間的推移，大海逐漸被侵蝕，海洋生物盡力抵抗，卻徒勞無功，海洋本來的面目或許已經截然不同。時間過去令人遺忘這裡的一切，成為歷史或神話。過去和現在或者沒有區別，當下也終歸變成未來的遺址。
