These images were taken on the set of Dis/Appearing, a puppet show co-developed and directed by Eric VanWyk and Betsy Rosen. The subtitle on the University of Maryland advertisements was "Visualizing Poetry Through Puppetry," a reference to this poem by Billy Collins, which inspired the show:

Walking Across the Atlantic
by Billy Collins

I wait for the holiday crowd to clear the beach
before stepping onto the first wave.

Soon I am walking across the Atlantic
thinking about Spain,
checking for whales, waterspouts.
I feel the water holding up my shifting weight.
Tonight I will sleep on its rocking surface.

But for now I try to imagine what
this must look like to the fish below,
the bottoms of my feet appearing, disappearing.
