The plastic bags are filled with local water
and posed on the floor of the gallery space.
The water is colored with fluorescent dye.
During the day the light hits the installation
from two sides, creating a graduated color
scale. At night, black fluorescent light
illuminates the water bags that look like
bodies of light in the dark.

222 plastic bags,
