A glowing red biomorphic structure spreads itself across the surface of the water. Its origins are mysterious - the shape generates a multifaceted web of associations, recalling memories of cyclical processes, coral reefs, living colony's, water lilies - but in the end it evades definition.

Additionally, the luminous red coral-like illusion appears out of place in these Northern realms - similar shapes are usually found in tropical waters. Due to global warming are we now to expect budding coral reefs in Norway , will Bergen get its own Florida Keys ?
