Nupur's introduction ↑↑↑
Looking for the horizon.
"You are temporary, the sea is permanent" - reflected not only in water/sky/water/sky ... but also the walk, the ephemerality of the place. Also reflected through people's daily activities... where the sea is the background.
Too much traveling in a short period of time.
Elisabeth Bishop - Question of Travel.
"Is it lack of imagination that makes us come to imagined places, not just stay at home? Or could Pascal have been not entirely right about just sitting quietly in one's room?"
What is it travelling, why do we have to travel? Psyche? What do we gain by travelling? From who/what do we learn?
Rituals, individuals, habits and experiences. Perceiving each-other's environments.
"The weather of the sea" - parafinelia, from rituals, worshipers throwing in the sea, the sea waves pushing it back to the shore. Idols and ceremonial items should be made out of environmentally friendly plastics.
<aside> ☁️ Worship not requiring a built space, sea becomes a place of worship.

Hard to relate with giving something to the sea, knowing that it will come back, even after you are leaving.
A cycle of recycle. The notion of taking from the earth and giving back to the earth. The materials changed while the rituals remained in place.
