Digging a hole on the beach, hoping to reach the sea. Those who’ve tried it know it’s all about balance: too high, and the sea remains out of reach; too low, and the waves will destroy your work in moments. This playful yet complex act perfectly encapsulates the artistic approach of Alison Chen, who persists in this gesture, whether on the beach with her children or through her daily artistic…
