Liminality


project description
Liminality takes its inspiration from a letter Albert Einstein wrote to his daughter, Lieserl Einstein. 

“To give visibility to love, I made a simple substitution in my most famous equation. If instead of E = mc2, we accept that the energy to heal the world can be obtained through love multiplied by the speed of light squared, we arrive at the conclusion that love is the most powerful force there is, because it has no limits.” – Einstein

Ice is used as a surface for the projected film giving the story a lifetime that is as long as the ice takes to melt and disappear. The body of water is now free to part ways in a thousand drops, but the memory of the old, and the potential for a new life is always there. All water will freeze again. And so the circle continues.
