The intertidal zone where land and sea meet separates the island into two during low tide. The doll, unable to leave the island, recalls a distant memory of the violent separation from her owner and herself. A butoh dancer embodies a castaway doll and performs in a shifting landscape of disappearing bodies of water from intertidal phenomenons.

A more invisible performer takes precedence, the PD150, an attribute to forgotten and lost objects. Memory becomes the act of ‘vanishing’ and follows the sensation of ‘missing’ through a span of space and time with objects, locations and people.
