“the ocean” by seye isikalu

“”The ocean”” serves as a visual based on the featuring poem I wrote called ‘plot twist’, which explores the complexities that sometimes come along with being completely passionate & committed to who or what you love.

In the visual for the ocean, I try to portray the struggle that occurs when a person is unable to evenly distribute the love/commitment between the ‘who’ & the ‘what’, resulting in the gradual deterioration of one. One comes out the victor, but not without consequences.
