​​
A 20-minute work for created for and dedicated to Ewa Liebchen.
​
The writing of this work was guided by my contemplations of the global water cycle, as perceived from two perspectives: the holistic wisdom of Indigenous Australian cultural science, and current Western scientific research. The title refers to challenges/gaps in analysing some recent data pertaining to the global water cycle budgets. The piece uses text spoken through the instrument – words and phrases adapted from a paper on Aboriginal Australian astronomy, and a song by Nightwish.
