Tif is an installation, creating an encounter between metronomes and movements of the shore—where human-imposed rhythms and environmental factors interact. The metronome is at once a promise of reliability and a wind vane. 

"I place a metronome on the rocks, right by the shoreline. The day is windy and gray, the waves riding at a steady pace, similar and dissimilar to the metronome. I am interested in the meeting point of human-imposed patterns of movement and rhythm with natural elements, comprising layers of continuity."
