Description: The filmmaker uses a formal structure to separate two sequences involving images of color and motion, one photographed from nature (objects mirrored on water), the other created in a studio. Davis explores the analogy between effects of moving forms of color which are observed in highly reflective surfaces, both natural and artificial. Natural reflected objects become kinetic visual patterns.
