Umi e Ikou

‘Umi’ means ‘ocean’, ‘e’ means ‘to’,’Ikou’ means ‘go + shall’. ‘Shall we go to the ocean?’. When I made the video, my mental state was almost the lowest. I felt like as if I was in mud. I wanted to go to the ocean so much. So I went to see the beautiful ocean and nature with comfortable friends. I laughed a lot my shoes was full of mud but the mud was 100 times better than the mud in mind. I was so happy to interact with the natural mud. I took videos of getting rid of mud from my socks in the sky. And I projected the video onto the water in a sink in a bathroom. I recorded myself in a bathtub and played with pens or coins to make myself happy even at my home. Through making the video I found the reason why I felt depressed was because of I felt as if a gold fish in a small bowl.
