A gown made entirely of clear running water, photographed as a fashion campaign picture in a bare stone room with one barred window. Hard sunlight comes through the bars and lays a grid of black shadow across the whole room: across the far wall, across the wet floor and straight across her body and the falling water, so the gown is cut into lit and unlit bands. A naked woman wearing it is caught in a deep lunge, thrown forward and off balance, the front knee bent right over the front foot, the back leg straight out behind with the heel up, one hand down flat on the wet floor taking her weight, the other arm swung back, her head up and turned to the lens with no expression. Water is thrown forward off her in a wide splash where her hand hits the floor. Camera at knee height, level. hard sunlight through bars, patterned shadow, extreme high contrast, sharp focus, deep depth of field. In the lower right corner, a pencil signature: Ziggy
