With water imagery as the foundation, Number One documents an experience of elasticity between varying states of mind. The contrasts in this multi-image poetic piece are developed in an interwoven relation to each other to both document and invoke the magnetized and elastic push/pull that is the flow of our conscious attention. There is never one set of oppositions but rather a dance of relationships between contrasting states.
