Drift, Discover, Create

Reflections from Sabine on the inspirations behind her arts & crafts:

When I walk along the shore, I search for objects that hold value beyond what meets the eye. Among the drifted materials, I see more than just waste — I see materials full of potential, waiting to take on new forms and destinies. In these moments, I feel deeply connected to nature, the elements and the realm beyond the physical. Ideas come to me effortlessly, as if the objects themselves are calling to be repurposed, transformed into something new. This is what I mean by "creating with the ocean" — an endless source of inspiration and infinite creative possibilities.

The other part of this process is surfing — not just riding waves, but being with the ocean. It’s about presence, attuning to the elements, and tuning in with myself. Sometimes it’s soothing, sometimes raw and powerful —like a mirror reflecting my inner world. There are moments when the fog is so dense that the shoreline disappears, leaving only the rhythm of the waves beneath me. It’s stepping into the unknown, where no two waves, no two experiences, are ever the same.

Through my art, I seek to capture and share these moments — bringing the ocean’s energy and the essence of my experience to you.
