Social Media Caption Writing
About the piece:
This piece was written as an instagram caption inspired from personal experience, but to be read as the company owner’s lived experience. The brand values placed high emphasis on sustainable fabrics, local and ethical manufacturing, body positivity, and ocean conservation. Using my own memories, I was able to tie emotion as well as themes about ocean conservation into the Akoya Swim brand experience. For the original link, please click on the title of the piece below.
Ocean Musings:
Been missing the sound of the ocean lately.
As a little girl, I was given a conch shell by my grandmother. She told me if I held it up to my ear, I could hear the ocean 'singing' to me so I'd never feel too far away from the place I loved. I was fortunate enough to have grown up by the sea, so it always felt like home.
I treasured that thing and have vivid memories of feeling cooped up at home when it would rain and gently placing that coiled shell up to my ear to listen, instantly feeling calm.
Even now, it doesn't matter to me that it was a naturally fabricated sound from the wind - the important part is the connectedness to the ocean I feel when the shell reaches my ear. A little part of me hopes that everyone can one day feel a deep connectedness to the earth so that we can come together and save it.
Petitioning for someone to replace 'headphones' with 'shellphones' 😉
