Watermarks is an expressive study of Richmond, Virginia, where post-Civil War monuments obscure the buried traumas of enslavement along the James River. Through analog film processes and unconventional sound design, the river becomes a line to trace a history that remains invisible beneath an illusory surface. Seemingly stable landscapes unfold to unearth a buried world, observing a land polluted by histories of violence and questioning how the past has been recorded or suppressed.
