Sometimes it would be easier if we could erase our
feelings. We cannot, so we hide them deep inside. An
intense connection, an erotic attraction, a love that never
saw the light of day, can leave a pain so deep it feels
easier to ignore. Marina represses her love and grief, yet
her emotions do not disappear. They resurface through
her body, her dreams, and the world around her. The fish,
through their inscriptions on the stones, are sensitive to
this sorrow, giving it shape in ways Marina cannot yet
understand. The stones reflect both submerged parts
of her own self and the natural environment, vulnerable
and in need of care. Just as repressing emotions has
consequences, turning a blind eye to environmental
destruction can lead to irreversible harm. During her
intimate, transformative journey, Marina comes to
perceive herself as inseparable from her body and the
environment around her, and only then can healing begin.
