The video is in a 2D-format. But it is largely made from "metallic" lines drawn in a 3D-space. which is allowing the eye to wander within the structure of the drawing, whereas it somewhat remained outside in the previous videos.
The rest of the material consists in pencil or ink drawings on paper.
two pencil drawings
three China ink drawings

Once again, a sequence in three movements.
Prelude: five motifs recur and become entangled.
Interlude: initially, a real "cartoon" lasting a little more than a second, a succession of forty drawings representing a wave that is formed and then turns off; what follows is composed of the very same drawings that keep reappearing in different sizes, colors and patterns.
Final: a progression in what could be a series of landscapes, swept repeatedly by one kind of flow and ebb. The drawings of the final, as well as the wave of the interlude, have been sketched during a cruise in the Pacific. One can therefore think of the ocean...

Relying on a single pencil-drawn, black frame, the sequence offers a suite of variations by erasing or coloring some of the frame's components.
Here are nine stages of the drawing and the colors, starting with the base frame, then choosing eight variations among those proposed by the animated sequence.
A long series of pencil-drawn lines occasionally interrupted by sharp hatchings or enriched by areas of flat colors.
first movement: fast and restless
second movement: slow and meditative
third movement: on three motifs
