‘Somewhen’ is an exploration of my relationship to the landscapes of my home, the Isle of Wight. By engaging with eco-somatic practices, I reminded myself of what it means to be a part of the natural world. In the making of this work, I placed myself in natural spaces, full of wonder for both the micro and macro aspects of the landscapes that raised me. I hope this imagery inspires you to rediscover your part in the natural world, and to remember that despite what we may have been taught, we all belong here.
When I cross the water,
it cleanses me,
ready to remember.
The curve of the coastline,
found within my fingerprints.
The landscapes that cradled us;
and never forget
Whilst white horses rise
and crash around our ankles,
We must walk lightly,
for every step
is a promise,
A promise to recognise
that wherever we may be,
when feet touch the bare earth,
always, we are home.
