In this video, artist Neha Choksi rows a boat made of ice while dressed in white robes. The boat acts as an extension of her body. She persists in rowing until the boat inevitably melts and disappears. Beginning with underwater shots of Choksi in the water surrounded by the remnants of the boat, this work evokes the notion of reincarnation.
