“Rhombus” is a video that transforms the Pacific Ocean horizon line into a self-contained box. A constant procession of waves travels through creating a surreal tunneling effect. By reflecting the video plane on all 4 sides the vastness of the ocean is reduced to a single point perspective. Through this simple gesture, a new perspective is revealed questioning our understanding of the ocean and the space it contains.
