OFF-SURFACE was inspired by the water's top surface's translucent, refracted light and distorted reflection. The surface of the water reflects one's gaze. Within specular reflection on the water shows impermanence, adaptability and the interconnectedness of its surroundings. The surface also reveals the realities underwater. OFF-SURFACE imitates a solidified notion of water's surface.
