A length of transparent sheeting stands lightly against the sea breeze, its surface hand embroidered with a single stitched line. When the wind moves through it, the form becomes visible, the film shifting between clarity and blur. The horizon folds across it, softening the boundary between sea and sky, and creating a space where both seem to move through one another.

This work marked an early exploration into how control and openness might coexist, how a structure can depend on external forces to find its balance. The embroidered line acts as a register of movement and flow, tracing the conversation between air, water, and material. Through the sheeting’s distortion, a gentle synthesis occurs: the natural and the made, the fixed and the changing, held together in a single gesture.

As the light shifts and the wind reshapes the surface, the stitched line finds alignment with its surroundings. What emerges is not stillness but continual movement, a fleeting equilibrium between tension and release, distance and connection.
