How do you take time to reset and unwind? It could be reading a book, cleaning your space, or just sitting in silence. For me, it’s going to the beach, fresh air, steady waves, and space to breathe. There’s something about nature that grounds us, that gives us space to slow down and breathe. Studies show that spending time outdoors reduces stress, boosts our mood, and improves our overall well being. But as our oceans change, I can’t help but wonder what happens when the places that heal us start to disappear. 

My video and poem, Whispers of the Tide, This is a creative piece I’ve made that’s meant to evoke reflection and emotion. The poem that I’ve written explores the ocean’s beauty and the impact of climate change. The ocean, always moving, has a voice that tells stories of change, loss, and resilience. Through imagery and rhythm, my video encourages reflection, asking us to pay attention to the waves. Like time, the tide never stops, but we often ignore its signs until the damage is already done. 

This video also highlights how humans affect the ocean. The water gives life, shapes the land, and holds incredible beauty, but it also suffers from pollution, rising temperatures, and neglect. Beyond just creating emotion, this video is meant to make people think. Are we letting these changes happen without care, or are we doing something to protect our world? The ocean will keep whispering its warning, are we listening?
