This is Ophelia re-imagined. She is not the drowned girl of Shakespeare's tragedy, but a woman at the threshold between states. Water and air, dissolution and becoming. The river doesn't take her. It holds her, mid-transformation, neither lost nor arrived. She is transcendent, liminal. She's become the water. There's no violence in it, no sorrowful pose; she's simply living in two elements at once, and both halves of her are awake to it.
