Single Channel HD Video, 4:15 min.This video takes its name from the female character from Shakespeare’s Hamlet, and the flower she bequeaths herself. Swallowed by a narrow, but deep, cut of creek, a woman swims in place, her ankle tied to a long yellow rope that travels upstream. Interspersed with found recordings from the 2011 Tōhoku tsunami and sound from planet Jupiter recorded by NASA's Voyager.
