In north-western Australia, the tidal range is such that on a falling tide, seawater covering a reef at high tide takes longer to drain away from the reef than it takes for it to be swallowed up again. The result is hours of water cascading down the reef's slopes.
The shots of the phenomenon are taken from a zodiac in rough water, which makes it difficult to keep the camera steady.

A sequence based essentially on setting live-action photos in motion, sometimes relayed by live-action videos.
The eleven photos in the sequence :
Colored lines crisscross the surface of various bodies of water, which in themselves appear to be drawings.

A phytoplankton bloom is the proliferation of plankton on the ocean surface. Real-life shots of this phenomenon appear several times in the sequence. Added to this are what can also be described as efflorescence, i.e. iridescent pools of petrol or clouds of silt raised by a ship's anchor. Finally, there are a few drawn shapes.
The phytoplankton bloom is already very graphic, before the addition of the drawn elements:
Bitumen ribbons and drawn ribbons ...
