Something Lost depicts a lone figure looking down, reaching into a well. The piece is designed to be placed underwater, portraying feelings of loss associated with time and history. The viewer is left to wonder if the figure is looking for something or trying to reclaim something of the past.
Its placement in Lake Atilan is significant as its rich historical roots add a sense of mystery and wonder to its conceptual presence. Renown as the deepest Lake in Central America the underwater well is designed to create a perception that one can look into down into the centre of the planet.
Its incongruous and non-functional presence (a well underwater) intends to be humorous yet reflect on the some of the illogical processes of our lives.
Depth: 4-6metres
Materials: Cast cement, bamboo or re-enforced fibre glass bar.
Size: One life-size adult man 1.6m x .8m. Well 1.5m diameter x 1m
