Let's move on

When I was a child, my biggest dream was to fly, so I wanted to be a pilot and fly all day long. But one day, I realised I suffered from vertigo. So I had to give up this dream. At the time, I spent a lot of time in the water. Seagull symbolized childhood, water represent adulthood. Today, a young woman afraid of heights seeks refuge in the water, trying to reconnect with the little girl she once was. She has a desire of not growing up, stay a child, carefree and far from adult’s problems and responsibilities. There’s a contrast between the fear of heights, seeking refuge in the water; and fear of growing up, seeking refuge in her childhood. That looks like she’s completely lost. She would like to revitalize her old desire of flying. Firstly for keep this childish part and never completely growing up, and secondly to let her take her flight and accept to be an adult. But for now she’s just lost, drowned by adulthood, because it’s where she has to be, where everybody has to be.
