Shot underwater, the performance is both beautiful and dangerous. The body takes on a deathly serenity as the spoken words become bubbles that float upwards like silent prayers. But staying submerged is an act of endurance as each utterance bleeds precious air from the performer's lungs. Communication comes at a cost and words are no sooner articulated than they become shimmering ghosts beyond our comprehension.
