the artist’s words:
Water runs.

The body is there, dirty.
The public’s position as observer is replaced by the action of participating and cleansing the body. Motivated, perhaps by some empathy for the unknown individual, hidden behind the mud.

This reminds me of cleaning my father’s body after his death.  Super intense and yet grimy…. really cool.
