A moving sculpture in which the movement of a single metal plate is transmitted from one plate to the next as it turns over from white to gold and from gold to white in an eternal cycle. It is like the ceaseless waves of the ocean that come and go endlessly, a metaphor for the flow of information and emotions passing from one person to another.
