A gown made entirely of clear running water pulled in at the waist by a wide black patent leather belt with a heavy steel buckle, the water gathered and creased above the belt and falling loose below it, photographed as a fashion campaign picture against a seamless cobalt blue paper backdrop. The belt is hard, shining and dry, and it proves the water is a material by holding it. A naked woman wearing it is caught in a deep side lunge, one leg straight out sideways with the foot flat, the other knee bent low, her hips driven out over the bent leg and her shoulders twisted back the other way, one hand flat on her thigh and the other reaching straight out along the straight leg, her head turned to the lens. Water is thrown out sideways where she drops. One large soft source overhead. Camera at knee height, level. soft overhead source, saturated cobalt blue, patent leather against clear water, high contrast, sharp focus. In the lower right corner, a pencil signature: Ziggy
