We carry tears in our eyes: good-bye father, good-bye mother
​We carry soil in small bags: may home never fade in our hearts
We carry names, stories, memories of our villages, fields, boats
We carry scars from proxy wars of greed
“THINGS WE CARRY ON THE SEA” BY WANG PING

As I make these sketches of imagined vessels, entering into a virtual reality environment, using a new technology, I can't help but think of the future of our migrations as human beings, our experience of transformation and our capacity to adapt and change. When I make work in VR it is really not much different from making work in my studio, experimenting with new materials, allowing my imagination a free rein and being utterly absorbed in the concept, the emotion and the physical creation.
