Excerpt from artist’s Impact Statement: "We, the viewers, are the ocean waiting to be uncovered...Tharp is trying to map the ocean―a seemingly impossible task. But little by little, she's succeeding, covering vast waters with this map. Look in her eyes, burning with curiosity, and you'll see her determination not only to uncover more but also to share her discoveries with others, ultimately changing people's perceptions of the world."
