Eclogite takes its starting point from the geological process of metamorphism, where a confluence of conditions come together to alter an existing rock into another over a long time period. Echoing this slow transformation of substance, throughout the course of the exhibition, a pool of water is subtly agitated by air pumps and slow-releasing pigments which diffuse into the water over time, obscuring the photographic image at the base of the tank. The audience was also invited to add small amounts of this pigment to the tank, contributing to the reshaping of the work.​
