Line is a close observation of a body, using only water as an exploration tool. The water reacts to the heartbeat. With its magnifying, shining, and vibratory properties, it serves as a medium sensitive to the body's subtle intensities. It remains on the surface but, through capillarity, probes a deeper inner essence.
