This work was part of an exhibition on the river Rotte in Rotterdam, with Willem de Kooning's “North Atlantic Light” as the central theme.
In documents I read that De Kooning was referring to the moving clouds over the moving water, enabling the light to 'bounce' between clouds and water.

In my work I used a mirror, floating 70 cm under the water’s surface. The mirror would reflect the incoming sunlight from the mirror upwards onto the water’s surface, and back to the mirror, and so on.
