The images on a large LED screen erected on the Design Museum building are reflected on the water, which moves by means of a wind effect. The images reflected are reconfigured by the interference of the different patterns of waves coming from the water's natural ripples.

The visual result is determined by repeated patterns of mainly lines and light sounds, which are modulated by the mirror formed by the surface of the water, creating even more complex patterns.
