Unmoored is a conceptual landscape about grief as a state of suspension.. The broken heart floats in a textured sea, echoing the experience of feeling unanchored after loss—present, breathing, yet detached from solid ground.
Above it, the moon shines as a quiet witness. It does not intervene or fix; it simply remains. The heavy texture of the sea and sky reflects the emotional weight grief carries, while the wiring allows the piece to hover slightly away from the wall, reinforcing the sensation of floating rather than resting.
