This meditative film about seasonal change and transformation was originally commissioned for MW Projects's exhibition aboard the S.S. Lilac steamship. In all the shots in the film, the camera is pointed down at the ground, aligning the camera image with the projected image, effectively cutting a visual hole into the floor.
