Blooming Cargo I & II, circa 2026
Blooming Cargo I & II is a recreation of my original design Tick Tock, circa 2011. The original work explored bewilderment and difficult-to-solve problems through symbolic imagery, incorporating elements of self-reflection from Heading Home alongside visual references to Kryptos—one of the world's most famous unsolved codes.
The 2026 edition brings the cargo into a new light. Within the proposed story of Lében, At the Garden, the train sinks at Tiktaalik Harbor. Blooming Cargo reimagines the train after that fate—not as a train that has risen again, but as a new iteration with the magical capacity to float and move steadily across water.
The train becomes a symbol of hope, renewal, steady movement, and prosperity for the future. What once represented bewilderment and the struggle to find answers is transformed into a vessel capable of carrying possibility forward.
