The film is a non-narrative study of nature. It contains no human characters or interpersonal dynamics to allow for the representation of sexual orientation or gender identity.

The subject matter is strictly elemental. The absence of human subjects precludes any analysis of gender hierarchies, agency, or the subversion of traditional gender roles.

The film focuses on the physical properties and forms of water. Without a human cast, there is no opportunity for racial or ethnic representation.

The film leans toward a secular, naturalist perspective. It avoids promoting traditional Western social hierarchies by focusing on the sublime qualities of the natural world.

The documentary format focuses on environmental movement. There is no depiction of human subjects or neurodivergent and physical experiences.
