When you look at the surface of a river, do you see the water beyond — or your own reflection staring back?

Flow in Trance invites us to drift inward as much as outward, tracing the currents of our inner oceans alongside the everyday presence of water in our lives. Drinking, carrying, crying — water is both elemental and intimate. It sustains and connects us.

The works gathered here explore the shifting, often fluid, relationship between humanity and water. From family memories to collective histories, they offer a submerged perspective — a dive between the water within our bodies and the bodies of water that carry past, present, and future in one continuous tide.
