los ajustes sutiles operan giros extraordinarios en el destino
Los Ángeles
remains
In the remains of a life, in the fragments of memories, in the traces of scars, are evidence of what is left behind, yet also of what endures. In crossing the borders of death and life, there is something sacred revealed in the remnants of what continues on.
The realm of the senses, where intimacy, movement, water, performance are ways of thinking through the body; and, perception precedes explanation as sensation unfolds into memory, desire, and imagination.
Water loosens the grip clinging to old shapes of ourselves. So much disappears in weightlessness underwater. The act of washing preserves by erasing. In fluidity flows a memory of who we are before we began to carry a databank of suppositions.

immersion
ol’ Pacific
wash
out of the foam
On the edge where the Pacific meets the shore, she is drenched in the sunlight and salted air. Standing on the sand before the blue expanse, the foam lathers at her feet in the delicate balance of the tide’s push and pull. She emerges as the rock, reshaped by the water.
