On board a ferry, a series of passengers cross a river from one riverbank to the other. Some of the travelers wrap themselves in silence and observe their unfamiliar fellow travelers or contemplate the scenery. Others chat, perhaps to liven up the voyage and speed up time. The journey on the waters seems to expand, the destination shore is postponed, and the magnitude of space is blurred. The motion itself is perhaps the only certainty.
