February 2025. The Baltic Sea. Cold that is felt throughout the entire body.

She crouches on a rock. The body closes in on itself, as if trying to hold onto warmth.

There is nothing in between. Only skin and cold.

The wind touches her back. The rock is hard, indifferent. The water - right beside her.

And she stays.

Not because she has to. Because she can.

Tulle moves somewhere behind her - light, almost weightless. It does not protect. It does not separate.

This is not a pose. This is a moment when the body says more than words.

And something very quiet that remains: I am.
