A kappa (a water-dwelling creature from Japanese folklore) descends from a body of water suspended in the sky, while fish swim freely through the air above a silent desert. Water belongs below. The sky belongs above. Fish swim in water, and kappas live near rivers—or so we believe. When these familiar rules are reversed, the boundary between reality and imagination begins to dissolve. This work explores boundaries, common sense, and the nature of reality. Where does the water end—and where does the sky begin?
Where Does the Water End?｜水は、どこまで水なのか— Where Does the Water End?
