This short film Los Huesos del Agua | The Bones of Water by famed Guatemalan artist Luis González Palma is mesmerizing and meditative, soft and introspective. We contemplate our existential existence as we watch Palma’s hand trace the shadow of leafy branches falling across the drawing pad on his lap. The rhythm of the wind in the trees becomes a dance marked in pencil. The sense of longing generated by this contemporary art process is palpable and draws us in. We remain transfixed by the inability to translate or even to grasp a moment in reality.
