Life in the deep sea is like living a life of deep sleep
- a dreaming, an imagining, a fantastical seascape.
Creatures appear, haunting and ethereal, in this state
of deep sea slumber, a liquid reality. Life feels languid,
life feels precious. Just as we need deep sleep to live,
the deep ocean is a vital component of planetary life.
By working in collaboration with the Schmidt Ocean
Institute and their awe-inspiring research, Deepest
Reveries is my visual poem about the depths of the
ocean, a fantastical world beneath the surface that
captures our imagination.

Based in Honolulu, Hawai’i, Japanese American artist, Taiji creates innovative photographic and sculptural forms and immersive, large-scale installations. For Taiji, art is
the medium to explore our interconnectedness, the ecological promise of rewilding,
the fragility of the natural environment, and the textures of the human experience.
From the global impact of climate change to immigration and nature’s capacity for
regeneration, Taiji inspires us to believe in our power to engage in the conservation,
preservation and restoration of our planet and our creative spirit.
