  1. This is an interesting piece because you really have to watch it closely. I can see the water moving and this man but I can't really tell what he is doing it is weird. He is just standing next to the water. I don't know if he is thinking or what. But then he leaps into the air and rolls up into a cannon ball. Then he is frozen, but only he is not the water or anything else. It is fairly long clip. My favorite is the ending the canon ball slowly fads away and then his reflection in the water is still there with another person. Its almost like the water consumed him.

    I think the artist is trying to get across that time never stops even if you do. People are always moving moving moving so quickly around the world but they never stop to look what is around them. This piece makes you look and what is around the man. I think t has a great point.
