The desire for attachment, coupled with an unsettling sense of separation is implied as Waterman attempts to embody the projected images she took of her grandmother, just before she died twenty years ago. The video is taken from the 'Translucence' series, which serves as a reflection on the fragility of life, investigating her experience of mourning and loss. The collection of three moving image works, 'February', 'Against' and 'Wisdom', interpret instrumental tracks from the musical score, 'Translucence' (Warner Classics, 1998), based on Derek Jarman's writing.
