Over the course of three months, I collected bath water from my monthly bleed ritual: a warm bath with essential oils, rose petals, a book to read, and a journal.

This video documents a libation offering of these accumulated fluids to three unfired kaolin vessels where this water is poured into a bone-dry kaolin vessel, and then held in my arms until it breaks; a process endured three times.

Kaolin residue and the water are left to be absorbed by the ground.

The broken walls of the kaolin vessel were reclaimed to form 1, 641 pinch pots.
