In 'Bodies of Water', Neringa Vasiliauskaitė unfolds a series of works that trace poetic correspondences between the eye and the net, the act of seeing and the gesture of catching. The retina – both biologically and etymologically – shares its roots with the net: a woven, receptive structure where impressions land, are filtered, remembered. This entanglement becomes a conceptual thread throughout the series, where vision, chance and desire converge into material form.
