We all have different relationships with the sea. But what about those moments just before? What does it look like to stand on the edge of the water and decide to go in? I use Tiffany Lethabo King's understanding of the "shoal" to discuss just before we enter to the water- what pushes us in & what holds us back.
Black Shoals by Tiffany Lethabo King
"Shoals" Definitions
“Area in which the sea or a body of water becomes shallow”
“Spaces of contact, friction, and interaction among land and water...Though not an absolute obstacle, a shoal transforms the qualities of the movement of water... The encounter transforms each, and each is constituted in part by its transformations”
“The shoal is a small uncovered spot of sand, coral, or rock where one must quickly gather, lose oneself, or proceed in a manner and fashion not yet known."
