In this piece, a second kinetic landscape reflects physiological data in the movement of water, pushed to a rhythmic lapping over the stones by a reciprocating motion device attached to a steel and rubber paddle. Behind the sculpture, a video shows the encounter between artist and lake during which the cardiac data driving the sculpture's motion was collected.
