Tesselate: "to make a pattern using identical shapes, creating a consistent pattern like a honeycomb." The title of the song used in this piece (by artist Alt J), and title of this project is called Tesselate. While the video its self does not directly portray mosaic patterns or identical shapes, the essence behind the word can be felt. The repetitive circular shapes of the bokeh lights, the triangles and time lapse of the people walking all evokes feelings of pattern, repetition and identicalness. The lights blur together, the people start to all look the same and you lose track of the number triangles appearing on the screen. We're so often hurrying to the next thing rather than living in the moment, so this video is meant to illustrate how the beauty of the world around us is tangled in the patterns and routine of our modern lives.
