The sea has many faces. Sometimes, it comes to us with a calm smile, sometimes with a storm as if it were angry. Today, people have led an affluent life with the diversity that the sea gives humans. At the same time, people wonder whether they can pass on the earth's ocean to future generations in its entirety.
This installation expresses the symbiotic relationship between people, marine environments and the sea, which is still a base of infinite life that can be restored. In the ocean, the deep sea has a deep interior. Attention moves quietly and slowly, not being swayed by the changes and waves of the busy world. Deep Sea Meditation the feeling of walking along the path of the deep sea, a realm where you can enjoy quiet and deep contemplation away from the hustle and bustle of urban modern life.
