“It’s light on water making light on water” — A visitor reflecting on  ‘Making Waves’

Making Waves focusses on city light sources, bouncing off ripples, connecting our artificial light with the dynamic movement of water — caused by the weather, but most of all by our presence with our passing boats. The artwork draws our attention to the ongoing interplay between light, water, and people. Passing boats create waves that distort and break the light, transforming Amsterdam’s reflection into an ever-changing composition.
