The work’s title has two possible pronunciations, with an ‘O’ it is the local slang expression “Mi Zo” [Hebrew: who is she?], with ‘U’, it is the Japanese word for water, and for the water’s movement. 

 

Falling into abysses that turn out to be treasures, it peels off, or opens and unravels, a world of samurais and mermaids, the waves rise, the throat opens, as if to describe the feeling of something you have never seen before, such as desire, gravity, boundless limitation, sinking to the dark bottom and rising to sunlight, like not being able to breathe and the endless need to, and everything fragments and changes, not the same moment, not the same day, not the same woman, when she wakes up she remembers the endless movement of water, even if the world stops. it continues to hidden places, to outer space, to the darkness, to the depths of the soul, to the depths of the storm.
