A series of aerial photgraphs shot from a helicopter over the Icelandic glacial outwash plain, a vast expanse of sand generated by the transport of debris by rivers whose flow is generated by melting glaciers and fed by the many volcanic systems. With my background in physics, the patterns formed by the flowing water are like quantum waves representing superposition of states of matter.
