About the work: Sea (2013) has been hand painted on a 100 meters long strip of 35 mm film. The dark scenes resembling a sea view at night are created from repeatedly painting new layers of paint on top of older ones. The work keeps the bygone images underneath its many layers, creating a reservoir of hidden images and resembling the onion like structure of memory.
