“The Kiss”
“The water offers us a dream-like version of reality, although rooted in the physical and real, the water removes the boundaries of gravity allowing bodies to flow freely in dream-like suspense.
Sometimes from the corner of our eye just out of focus, we glimpse a more abstract version of reality. Buried beneath our conscious selves, just beneath the surface is the river of the unconscious, carrying our deepest inner workings and desires. These phantoms of the mind have long been the source of spirituality and religion. Down the ages, we have sought to understand these mysteries through stories, myths, and legends. From cave paintings of animistic deities to the myths of ancient Greece, we have sought to understand these universal and fundamental inner workings that make us human.
Through play and intimacy, we come to further understand the fundamental human desire for connection that drives the way we navigate the world, that gives us magic and purpose for living.”

The bull riding is bearing witness to unspeakable cruelty: Bad enough for the terrified animal to be surrounded by all that jeering and shouting, then weight of person, but the get an electric shock to lunge out of gate, wires around testicles that tighten as they buck. Otherwise, it would never distort itself like that. Worse than the riders and "show: promoters are the people who pay to see this. Without them, this could be stopped. Pure disgust.
