The Currents Don’t Stop
Ananya Bhagat
“The Currents Don’t Stop” began with a moment of looking into a pond and seeing myself without a filter: grief, unhidden. Fish move through my hair, carrying thoughts I cannot quiet, while blue flowers bloom around me. Through this surreal reflection, I question a world that asks us to learn without pause, work without rest, and grow without considering what growth takes from the earth. The work imagines hope not as another demand to endure, but as a different way of living, where care counts as work, the earth is allowed to recover, and life can move in rhythms that allow everything to grow.
