16mm, 11 min, silent
From the Sanskrit, ‘gentle gazing brings liberation’ the title is also the name of the particular body of water which is the image-subject of the film. Landscape as inscape, not inertly present but beckoning an active perception; a seeing and a seeing into.
“as if my eye were still growing” -Gerard Manley Hopkins
