The image is from the point of view of someone sitting outside and looking down at their feet. The view is of a deep and reflective clear rain puddle on ground made of large, orangey pebbles. The person is wearing grey trousers and has worn, black boots half-covered in water. A caption reads: Water is water is not water.
Still from “Water,logged”, Sandra Alland, 2020.
