For this piece, I highlighted a very small area of the screen around the navigating icons, and blew that area up into a full-sized video. We watch as a disembodied hand and suggestive arrow roam through an internet pornography site, serving as crude abstractions of human desire in a digital world.

When pictures do resolve for the viewer, the are often surprised by what they are actually seeing.
