Sending a Submarine to Space

Signed by artist - bottom right.

This artwork explores the absurdity of sending a submarine into space, drawing a powerful analogy to the feeling of being an outsider in society. Just as submarines and spacecraft operate in vastly different environments, individuals navigate diverse social landscapes for unique purposes. Society, much like the ocean, has its own currents, pressures, and systems, which can present challenges for those who feel disconnected. The buoyancy and pressure resistance that work in one environment may not be effective in another. Similarly, just as submarines depend on specific technologies for underwater exploration, people may need unique coping mechanisms and social skills to navigate the complex dynamics of human interaction. The stark contrasts in atmospheres, both literal and figurative, highlight the need for adaptation and understanding when dealing with the feeling of being an outsider in the intricate social ecosystem.
