Four magical scenes set in open water, where light has a diminished reach.
Our Flag Means Death — As Edward “Blackbeard” Teach lingers in the open water, before him is a vision of his lover Stede Bonnet, trident in hand, as a merman with a fabulous goldfish-like tail.
Mr. Queen — Jang Bong-hwan is held and kissed by a princess, Kim So-yong (later Queen Cheol-in), who had swum to him from out of nowhere. A green aurora-like light forms a wide circle around the two.
The Shape of Water — The Asset kisses Eliza Esposito, whose red dress opens up in the water while her left shoe drifts away from her foot. Not that she needs it any longer.
Swiss Army Man — Hank discovers a bit of a win-win upon kissing the lips of the undead Manny, who bubbles with air through a grin.

Paul Klee - Portrait in Yellow, 1921
That's one I've never seen...
Paul Klee, Two Heads, 1932
Pauk Klee's "The Mask with the Little Flag" from 1925 & a photo of Klee by Hugo Erfurth, 1922.
Who was Paul Klee?
Cubist, Expressionist and Surrealist, Swiss artist Paul Klee made a vast contribution to the history of art. His madcap drawings, paintings and prints encapsulated the experimental spirit of the early 20th century, a time when artists were just beginning to untap the potent potential of the unconscious mind. Klee famously liberated drawing from the shackles of realism, coining the oft-repeated phrase “taking a line for a walk.” He also successfully merged multiple strands of art into a unique and singular style.
Throughout his entire career Klee was incredibly prolific, working across a range of media including painting, drawing, and printmaking. Scholars estimate that Klee produced more than 9,000 works of art, making him one of the most productive artists in the history of art. He was also a musician.
(above) - "Colours" by Paul Klee from Klee's notebook - The Paul Klee Notebooks is a two-volume work by the Swiss-born artist Paul Klee that collects his lectures at the Bauhaus schools in 1920s Germany and his other main essays on modern art. These works are considered so important for understanding modern art that they are compared to the importance that Leonardo's A Treatise on Painting had for Renaissance. Herbert Read called the collection "the most complete presentation of the principles of design ever made by a modern artist – it constitutes the Principia Aesthetica of a new era of art, in which Klee occupies a position comparable to Newton's in the realm of physics."
