Artist's statement:
writing ocean body
i wrote gravity of love
i wrote fluid ocean i wrote
ground that doesn't hold
history that cradles semblances
of corpses displaced breaths
wave upon wave upon
i gather i bind this repetition
its memory is one of forgetting
its insistence is one of difference
enunciating mouth swelling ocean
belly depth of darkness inhabit me
to lick separation we hold
alterity embracing forging
unknown that we become
unimaginable imagined.
