"Upstream, in the midst of the outer waves,
your parallel body yields to my arms
like a fish infinitely fastened to my soul,
quick and slow, in the energy under the sky.”

A monochrome meditation on Neruda’s Drunk with Pines: water and fluid ripple with longing, fish encircle a solitary man like memory in motion. In the final breath, he embraces a woman beneath clouds and flowers. Black and white strokes whisper of love, loss, and the aching beauty of surrender.
