Lagoon (2022)
A lagoon is a body of water separated from larger ones by a natural barrier.​
Lagoons are a transformation point between land and sea where a unique ecosystem adapts to changes out of its geographical nature. In many cases, the transition affected by human actions can be witnessed within a few years of time. The continuing threats from human activities result in environmental impacts; affecting salinity, erosion; the swift changes lead to the breakdown of said lagoons’ ecosystem; damage its biodiversity and increase the threats of floods.​
Subtle movements with floating visuals projected on the body and repetitive actions emulate the corals. From a visible human figure, glowing in the darkness to merely an illusion until it disappears, Lagoon attempts to emphasize the effect of human activities towards the ecosystem.​
Lagoon. Its beauty reflects on its name, and inspires many. While the scene of Emmeline splattering the water under moonlight in the movie The Blue Lagoon(1980) stays in one's mind forever, we cannot help but wonder, will there only be artificial lagoons in the future?
