Hydroduologue -- a conversation between two women
depicted only by the bubbles
from the exhalation of their breath
moving upward toward a liquid surface.
The dialogue is expressed visually as a gas
that appears under water as a solid
through light refraction;
the conversation becoming effectively tangible.

The vocal exchange between the two discuss water,
the human relationship to water in the body,
water crucial function in life,
the undiscovered and delicate organisms in the oceans,
and the anthroposcene.
The words of the conversation are not heard
but seen moving upward through the liquid.
The rhythm of the words
alternating back and forth
with the familiar pacing
that occurs during an exchange of language.
