A figure rests at the surface of water, suspended between immersion and return. Echoing the silent descent of Ophelia, the body drifts at a fragile threshold where reflection and reality begin to merge. Light scatters across the surface, dissolving form and softening presence.
Above and below, the body shifts—at times clear, at times refracted—suggesting a passage between states. Held in stillness, the figure inhabits a moment of quiet transformation.
