	THE BROOKLYN RAIL - ART
		Urashima, a Buddhist allegory first written in 712, is the story of a young fisherman who, despite the potential for blissful life in the undersea Dragon Kingdom, is consumed by his longing for his home above.
		A looped recording of ocean sounds links Urashima’s descent below the sea and one of Mendieta’s photographs of a mass of lush green seaweed forms the shape of a figure that undulates with the movement of the water that covers it, and ultimately would pull it apart.
		Arai connects Urashima’s longing with the yearning implicit in Mendieta’s ritualistic act of leaving her trace on the earth— a wandering desire that never quite settles— and her own concern with our acculturated state of perpetual desire.
