This film collage of light and sound was inspired by a postcard the filmmaker received from the poet Robert Kelly, apparently as part of an ongoing discussion about existence and materiality. The following was the message written on the postcard: "The truth of the matter is this, that man lives in a fire of waters and will live eternally in the first taste."
