a narrative
The woman looks out of a window whilst a man looks at her.
The man looks at a woman whilst she looks out of a window.
Her body faces towards the man.
His body faces away from the woman.
They had argued in a previous different scene. Here, the man’s choice to
confront the woman at her work place, a museum, is in limbo. She has already served him,
her mind is on the water outside, she wants to hear it speak.
From another realm but here also, carved from a solid piece of wood, a travelled warrior sits on their horse.
They are a mediator and look to a patterned figure in the form of a metal grille.
She thinks : if my body is 80 - 90 % water and theirs is not, how do we meet in the middle?
Present, the water responds, bypassing boarders and signalling messages between the characters.
They discuss and coordinate.
