In my pursuit of experiencing presence, I had been considering different methods of grounding.  In this series, I film exactly one breath escape my lungs in its entirety while underwater in a pool.  The entire performance takes around 10 seconds to complete before re-surfacing for air.  The impermanence of each micro-moment felt quintessentially ephemeral.  As a result, each millisecond of motion, each rising, undulating, quivering bubble becomes extremely attractive, almost rare.
