"For me, this epitomizes and reminisces of childhood innocence in
a sense that as youth, in many cases, we tend to experience such
persistent and perpetual feelings of wanderlust that it overwhelms us
and swallows us up, because we're all so sheltered and we so
desperately long for freedom, for a change of scenery and for
independence and I suppose that's exactly what the sailboat symbolizes
in my perspective. It's almost as if you're holding your entire future
in front of you with your eyes closed, because you're breathing it in
and you're dreaming; dreaming of something that feels so tangible, yet
so surreal, simultaneously. But instead, since you've grown older,
you're reflecting on those times of adolescence when all of your
treasured material items mirrored precisely what you perceived your
future would resemble and soon enough, you'll sail around the world,
because your future is waiting, and it's almost here, and you're just
grasping it by a thread within the spaces between your fingertips and
it feels so real."
