Description
The surreal transformation of a footbridge into an eye that opens onto a path leading to a radiant flower that becomes a body that becomes a landscape produces the effect, in Vanderbeek's words, of an "animation experience in which the viewer's eye delves ever deeper into each scene, finding new visual relationships and metaphors in what at first glance seems like a simple scene... Juxtaposed with what we see is what we believe we see... The memory of the dream is as real as the dream itself, while being completely different from it."
— Janet Vrchota
