Exploring post-human-feminist ideas changed our perception of the sea, turning it from just space into something inspiring and connected. Our daily swims in the cold ocean initiated a direct dialogue with nature, heightening our awareness and connection to our surroundings. This immersed us in a direct dialogue with nature, sparking creative ideas like mapping through embroidery on a net. The concept of a changing room installation emerged as a means to share our experiences, blending functionality with artistic expression and repurposing materials inspired by sustainability.

a portal to the origin. showing where everything comes from. thinking that we, as humans were created in a tiny ocean – a womb. our bodies containing 60% water.
when entering the ocean it makes us aware, that we are a tiny drop within it. it doesn’t want us to bring or give anything. no money, poperty, car or any materialistic possessions. it doesn’t care about status, classifications, borders, religions, ethnicities, colors or genders.
there isn’t any seperation nor singularity.
the ocean turns down our volume. lets us focus on breathing. it shows, that all is connected. growing, moving and changing. we will never be able to make it stop.
we should care and respect and remember that after all, we are ourselves walking or rolling oceans. just that we all have an ending.
perhaps the ocean is the greatest enigma in which we can all lose ourselves, without a need for understanding.
The project aims to facilitate sea bathers with a place to change. The spiral shape represents the cycle of life from birth to death, and therefore change. The construction is designed to bring awareness to transitions, and the layers that enclose the structure reflect our own layers as individuals and as a society. Marine elements are a reminder of the rich diversity that exists beneath the ocean’s surface. a space, to change body and mind.
