Detailed Involvements
Events with rich location context
The stream is the private setting for a father-daughter ritual that becomes the crucible for difficult truths. Its calm flow and the physical effort of wading create intimacy and allow Tal's lapses to surface away from the house, forcing a public-private confrontation in nature.
Quiet, deceptively pastoral; intimacy strained by sudden ruptures of anger and despair.
Refuge that becomes battleground — a stage for private confrontation and the testing of familial obligations.

The stream symbolizes memory's flow and erosion — a place of steady drift where identity and roles can be eroded by the current of disease.
