To spend more time outside in nature, not to be confined to the constructs of four walls. To embrace the natural draw to water we experience as humans. This manifesto explores a lost relationship between the self and nature. 

To create my manifesto, I started by capturing images of the sea, which were then printed in black and white on A3 sheets. I then printed my copy, and cut each piece into a little square. Some pieces were created by allowing the box to rest on the scanner whilst I moved the images of the sea just above, thus creating a sense of movement in the image surrounding a static box. For others, I would stick the box to the sheet of paper, moving the two pieces together. Here, they flow as one, though still an emphasis remains on the confines. The text in this instance is often stretched, backwards, and repeated. 

As the publication goes on, the box and text increase in fluidity and movement, but the text is never able to break out of its spatial confines. It is bound with a d-shackle in one corner; an object that simultaneously conveys the notion of the sea (used on boats) and allows the pages to be taken out and treated as separate entities as opposed to solely existing together. Thus, the handler is able to recreate and reorganise the leaves in a way that is subjective to them. It is participatory with a simply defined structure that can be disrupted and give ownership to individuals over the object.
