In 2021 Avshalom collaborated with musician Umitaro Abe, created twelve short video-dance pieces titled "Liquid Season", all taking place in watery environments, each dedicated to a different month of the year.

The cycle of works embodies water as the element of nature and life, which makes for constant transformation.

Concurrently, the cycle pays homage to the Duke of Berry’s Book of Hours (The Très Riches Heures)—an illuminated Christian prayer book also serving an almanac, commissioned by Jean, Duc de Berry, in the early 15th century from the Limbourg brothers.

The manuscript’s illuminations portray scenes from the life of lords and peasants, against nature’s changes throughout the year.
