at least,
I’ve only seen it in the sea at sunset.
Never yet
in the pool,
so
there was a time when
I couldn’t tell
If I was in the pool
or
in the sea.

Suiming Gong (b. 1999) She enjoys working with images. She is attracted to the gentle substance.
She also likes water-related activities and enjoys experiencing this substance in its formless and colorless state.
She received her BA at the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts in Visual Communication Design and is about to graduate from the Royal College of Art with an MA Photography degree.
"She knows that those colors symbolizing happiness will never be able to escape from the vulnerability and impermanence." —— for the ocean and my girlhood

Take a long long deep breath,
hold then,
dive.
Abandoning the world above the water, diving away from the only air supply.
Under 0m, between 2 minutes and 45 seconds.
Composed of ocean freediving practice between the ages of 18 and 23, my recorded limit as of 2023 is 16m depth, 2 minutes and 45 seconds.
