(re)visiting marizy (2017)
Mixed media research project, online
(re)visiting marizy was a collaboration with Emma Pavans de Ceccatty for Remembrance Day For Lost Species. It involved manifestations and explorations into connecting with places, near and far. Below is a selection of work about the Aral Sea, find more at revisitingmarizy.wordpress.com
A Letter to the Aral Sea
Dreaming of the Aral Sea #1
I awake floating in the water.
Wind….calm….home.
A fish is pushing at my back. The pushing gets harder and faster, anxious, panicked. I realise that there are more than just one fish. There are hundreds. The algae wraps around me, like a vacuum pack. Oxygen…….squeezed……..out.
The water is drying. I feel unsupported as I sink to the ground. I feel dizzy. I fall asleep. I awake and my lips are cracked. I touch my body and it is crisp. I lick my lips.
Salt.
What year is this now?
How long was the evaporation process?
The toxins and dust are the only thing left to feed me now.
