Two conch shells whisper a story (in Spanish) about a woman who bathes surrounded by seashells and scented candles and then falls asleep. Upon falling asleep, the woman embarks on a hallucinatory journey through watery and desert landscapes — mythic and real. Speaking in a soft murmur that’s reminiscent of ASMR-voice recordings, the spirit of the sea and the river seduces the listener, describing bodies of water, pillaged riverine environments and dark damp, feminine spaces as it makes its way to the land of the dead.
