Alone on an ocean “tundra,” wearing a protective clamshell-like parka and winter boots, a woman arduously moves, exhales, and burrows through the afterlife of sexual violence. The medium of water, with its destructive potential and capacity to heal, in addition to the weight of an air tank, with its promise of survival and threat of impending emptiness, hold the fullness of traumatic experience. This autobiographical work is the impact statement that the director was not permitted to give before the law.
