Alcohol and inks were dropped into hydrocarbons where the chemicals react and change in composition. The reaction produced convection-cells in the liquid, producing explosive patterns like those seen on the surface of the sun. The reactions were captured on an ultra-bright light box, causing the light to penetrate through the reaction and project intricate detail directly onto the high resolution digital sensor. Hydrocarbons used include linseed oil, WD40, shellite, and pure gum turpentine. A variety of pre-mixed alcoholic inks were used, as well as manually creating mixes with pigments, isopropyl alcohol, and methylated spirits. The purpose of this film was to create a visual of energy.
