Geological sources define it as the area in which the sea or a body of water becomes shallow. As a process, it is the movement of the ocean from greater to shallower depths. It is not the shore; it is a formation before the shore or offshore. As a location and geological formation it is often described as a sandbar or a coral reef. It is an accumulation of granular materials (sand, rock, and other) that through sedimentation create a bar or barrier that is difficult to pass and, in fact, a 'danger to navigation.' As a geological unit, it is a physical place, a shallower place in the ocean before one arrives at the shore."

Sondra Perry (the artist at work) achieves this by repurposing Photoshop tools that attempt to automatically fill in or erase parts of an image using AI The result is a pair of immersive fields in which the Black subject appears nearly invisible.
