(Reflections from within bodies in transition)

This piece, for me, is about waiting.

About a slow, seemingly paused, process of change.

I am interested in the way small quantities of water move. Drip, Seep, Pool. These quantities of water that are just before or after changing in form.

Drops that shrink and evaporate off of your skin. Puddles that migrate over the course of a few hours. Wetness seeping from between two legs.

These in between bodies, these small moments at the edge of change.

I created this piece in conversation with a text by Astrida Neimanis, Hydrofeminism: Or, On Becoming a Body of Water.

I want to clarify that this is not a work about being a woman, this is a work about being a body. A body, or a puddle, caught between complex systems, where small change has large implications.

Water moves through these clay bodies – perhaps in a similar way to how water moves through our bodies of flesh, taking us from here to there, from young to old, “from potentiality to actuality. Translation, transformation. Plurality proliferates,” as Neimanis writes.

I encourage you to sit, and wait, with these watery bodies.
