and experienced the cool sensation as my hands emerged and broke the water's surface.
Today marks the first time getting back in the water after a week of being under the weather. The expectation for today is simple - have fun and rediscover the joy of being in the water. At the Zhubei Swimming Pool, what excited me the most was the sunlight streaming into the pool.
In this collection, Wendy documents her exploration of water and her sense of self.
From describing eloquent moments of harmony with water to seeing ripples generated by her movements, Wendy had an epiphany that went beyond the self.
Submerged, the water appeared a light shade of blue, with gentle ripples creating layers at the pool's bottom. In the middle, there was a layer where the sunlight penetrated, providing a sensation of swimming from darkness into light.

Seeing One’s Existence In Water
Today, I experienced various interactions with the water in the pool.
I felt the pressure of the water against my legs, sensed the surface tension with my fingertips,
While swimming toward the sunlight, I felt the changing direction of my palms pushing against the resistance of the water.
While swimming on my side, I felt the water flowing between my toes.
Flutter-kicking, I sensed water and air rolling over the top of my feet.
Whenever my feet crossed, I felt the water compressed into a temporary vortex.
As I slowly turned in the water, I discovered that slowing down made everything feel safe, bright, and calm.
I saw that in the water, it's not just me; In this world, it's not just me.
I saw light in the water, alternating between brightness and shadow.
The water's surface appeared to have suspended particles, and at the bottom of the pool, there were ripples reflecting sunlight.
Sunlight clung to the edges of the ripples, resembling the morning glow revealed by mountain mists.
I chased after the water ripples – waves created by me.
I could place my chin on the water's surface,
I felt like I could breathe on the water's surface. I felt like I was breathing together with the water.
Today, the water was gentle, and today, I was gentle too.
let my lips touch it,
and finally, submerge a little, feeling the minimum height at which I could breathe through my nose.
End of Project
As sunlight penetrates the water's surface, casting reflections on the pool bottom, Wendy's body movements create overlapping water ripples and changing shadows.
In this enchanting scene, Wendy, through the water, sees a version of herself beyond her immediate existence, subtly affirming her presence and acknowledging her ability to influence her surroundings.
The Ripples and An Epiphany
This ripple was born for her. In this dreamlike setting, Wendy recognized a realm beyond herself, a confirmation of her presence, and a self-affirmation of her impact on the surroundings.
Wendy discovers that she can impact the world without suffering harm, even if it is just for a moment, a single square meter of the pool floor. This is a significant discovery on her journey of personal growth.
