Growing up in Goa, the Sea was a part of the body. It was part of the daily commute to everyday life. The Sea meant that the water washing over my feet traveled through waves, underwater currents and tremendous nautical miles, to wash over somebody else’s feet. A lake on the other hand, was entertainment. Incredibly smaller than the vast and expansive sea. Mayem lake was a popular lake in Goa, where we would go ‘boating’. A paddle boat seated 4 family members who would paddle through a weekend getaway. Lake Superior changed everything. It felt like the Sea… but it was a sweet water lake.The grandiosity of Lake Superior got me questioning the very meaning of words. This work is a meditation on these two bodies of water and the futility of words.
