Matt Bagley, A place called home (PORTRAIT 2023)

My boy grows up in a world so different to mine or what it once was. I fell asleep listening to the ocean with dry salt-covered skin from my endless hours in the sea. I now see what I once took for granted is a luxury for him. We will visit these places together, and as he grows, I will continue to introduce him to these experiences because whilst he will never truly understand what it is like to have his day determined by the tides and the direction of the wind, he can still understand and appreciate the beauty of the ocean.
