Cutting Edge of the Present
Badboot made by Wieki Somers
The artist herself said that the work was more about the thin line between relaxing in a bath and floating in a boat on the water. In our time, right now this artwork means so much more than she had intended for it. It's about harmony, differences and acceptance.
The combination of the bath and the boat, both having their own function and meaning, and both having the element of water playing a big role in that. The bath is to contain water in it, whereas the boat is to float in it. However the boat could never float if it was to contain water. You see how these two lie so very close to each other, but yet could never be the same. It is like a metaphor for how we as people live thegethor in our society these days. I mean we all know that we are the same deep down. We are all human, this is the element that plays part in both. Yet some of us live differently and I say, and so does the artwork, that we should learn to live in harmony together, and be one. Just like the bathboat.
It is not about the experience that both the bath and the boat give us, but about their function and how they can stand strong together.
