Hill’s “Inflow:Outflow” consisted of two 15x7-meter projections in Riyadh’s STC metro station. He described it in a statement to Arab News as “a visual poem” that “celebrates universal movement.”
“At every moment, everything — from the cells in our bodies to the microorganisms around us, and all the way up to the stars and galaxies — is engaged in a continuous dance of creation and destruction,” Hill elaborated.
His installation, according to the Noor Riyadh website, “translates microscopic realities into monumental projections. Illumination magnifies chemical reactions filmed through polarized light, expanding them to an architectural scale. Color and textures cascade like slow galaxies, enveloping surfaces in living pigment.
