In this video artwork, the camera ruptures the very purpose of its technological existence, moving beyond depiction to become a medium for pure aesthetic exploration. Beginning with simple real images of vertically presented waves at sunset, as layers of imagery build (each one progressively numbered), reality dissolves into playful abstraction. The soundscape, crafted from modified Olivetti typewriter sounds, deepens this disorientation, creating a space where technology is repurposed, embracing creative aberration to explore the symbolic, the poetic, and the essence of the human condition.
