A woman in a black ribbed one-piece and a black wristband stands barefoot on an olive yoga mat laid on a weathered wooden deck, holding a standing split with her leg lifted high and her hands clasped around her foot. She is framed in a wide shot, the sea and low coastal scrub behind her under a pale overcast sky. First she eases her grip and lets the raised leg lower, foot finding the deck. Then she turns her body to face the camera, the leg now down and her feet planted. Finally she brings her palms together in a praying position at her chest and bows her head and shoulders forward in a small bow, holding it. The frame never moves - no push in, no handheld, no zoom, no dolly. Flat overcast light, no hard shadows, the sea a dull pewter behind her. Audio: a steady sea-wind bed throughout, the soft creak of the wooden deck as she shifts her weight, the mat whispering against the deck, only ambient room tone otherwise, no music.
