So, back to the drawing board. I spent the last week experimenting with new mediums to use to set the cameras. The idea of leaving the cameras in something as a way of preserving lends itself to thinking of a medium that can enclose the cameras in a way that can be picked up and handled. Those ideas took me to thinking about ice blocks. The original idea was that the cameras would be able to sit somewhere forever. Yet the idea of revealing the cameras over time seemed appropriate. So, I built a box filled it with water, left it to freeze for a day and then removed the box from the frozen block and watched it melt for 3 days. As time went on, the ice started to melt and the two sides of the camera slowly started to appear through the ice. Here is an image of the block.
