Oceanic: Exhibition by Angelika Wienerroither
It is easy to get lost by the sea; it scatters and loses sight. This boundless vertigo of limitlessness is uncanny, opaque, uncertain - the water conceals and hides. But the sea is also a refuge: it gives hope because it forms an outer equivalent of the inner emotional world. The sea washes away the dirt. Body and mind are harmonious on the sea. The sea flows. The sea is chaos. The sea is companion, awakens longing, ignites the spark of inspiration. The sea knows.
