In the
center of a dark room stands a cylindrical object
resembling a well. It is filled with water to the rim. A
vertical beam of light starts from the depth upwards,
passes through the surface, sometimes leaving a trace,
and reaches to the ceiling. There the beam stops in the
form of a projected image circular in shape, identical to
the object-well. The image is that of the water surface
seen from below and illuminated by the beam of light. A
man and a woman alternately dive under water, approaching
the viewers who look at the image on the ceiling and,
using sign language, give a message which may be a story
or a moral.

The
image on the ceiling is reflected on the surface of the
water in the well. Every now and then, a drop of water
falls from the ceiling into the well, briefly disturbing
both the surface and the projected electronic image on
the ceiling, as well as its reflection on the surface. At
that point, water and the image of water blend to form a
single element and the viewers are caught between the two
surfaces, finding themselves above and under water at
once.
