River water, reflective film, computer fan and light bulb

​​

Referring to a sudden flash or reflection of sunlight off a water surface, glint presents a microcosmic model of this natural phenomena. Light from a warm bulb bounces off pools of water harvested from the Tagus River estuary atop reflective film, agitated by a gentle fan simulating the wind carrying ripples across the water. Over time, the liquid beads leave salt deposits in the wake of their evaporation.
