It took me several separate occasions to watch the installation in its entirety to fully interpret what that particular work solicits in me. At first, we are seeing a female figure appearing somewhat out of focus. The subject passes through a water stream and emerges in focus. The setting appears un-interpretable at first. But I believe I understand the message, and part of the message is given away in the title itself. Acceptance, as the name implies, has a psychological implication. It involves adaptation of a fact or a trajectory, and often because there is no other alternative. The female subject emerges from darkness, out of focus, and into the light. The beginning and end points of her movement signify a path which symbolizes moving from something undesirable to something worth struggling for, in this case, from darkness to light. Falling water symbolizes a barrier, an obstacle that needs to be defeated, and there is no alternate path around it. Water also symbolizes vulnerability – a cold and unpredictable force that makes the passage both uncomfortable and dangerous. The culmination is reached as the subject emerges into the light, resulting in both a relief and a realization that a milestone has been reached. Take a look at this installation and see if this work solicits a similar feeling in you.
