A photograph of Miller and his mother in a swimming pool is re-created by a computer and projected onto the wall of a flooded cave in Fishkill, New York. Their figures bleed into the wet rock, while a faint second image appears in the frozen water below. A memory first made in water is now placed above another pool formed by ice, stone, and collected water.
Unlike the abandoned homes used elsewhere in the series, this image returns to a cave, one of the earliest forms of human shelter. Instead of entering another room, the family photograph settles directly into the rock and water, placing a private memory inside a much older kind of living space.
