Edition 29 displays a low-resolution filtered image of swirls in the Pacific Ocean filmed at a boundary between a shallow and a deep area such that the lighting of the water creates a dynamic dialogue between two colors, turquoise and deep blue. The image is slowed down more than one hundred times so that the movement within the image is barely perceptible. One must stand still in front of the work and focus on it to perceive any movement. The image moves so slowly that essentially whenever one looks over at the screen, they see a different still image.
