Abstract
The project "Sailor" is a search. This search is imbedded within the subject. It does not have a defined goal or even a path. It is a breakaway from the defined here and now into the middle of nowhere. The here and now is who we are, and who we have been, and all that made us be it. It is our "cozy prison". The protagonist franticly thrives to find the key out of his or her own "cozy prison". The protagonist dares to look beyond the iron bars, beyond the comfort zone, and becomes a fugitive. The protagonist feels unprotected, lost, disoriented, hopeless, and yet satisfied. The need for discovery keeps circulating. The only right place to be is the one in which he or she is not. This work drags the viewer along a desperate inner search for a higher meaning materialized into a physical wandering. Yet, the viewer will feel that the search is worthwhile. The viewer will feel the subject. The viewer will be the subject. They are one.
