SEA OF LOST TIME

"The Sea of Lost Time is a vast stretch of water somewhere in South America, bordering a small abandoned village, whose hard soil is cracked with saltpeter. At the bottom of the Sea there are terraces of flowers... Many years ago, during the first few nights of March, the Sea - which normally swept along refuse - started to give off a heady odour of roses. People began to return to the village, which had been almost abandoned even then."
Gabriel Garcia Marquez, "El Mar del tiempo perdido," in
La Increible y triste historia de la candida Erendira y de su abuela desalamada, Buenes Aires 1972.



The floor is censored and looks like water but isn’t. The product is mend to be in a very big scale. When a person walks on the floor, it ripples appear where their feet touch the floor, just as if they were walking on water. It has memory for 5-10 minutes. It should happen randomly, so there is not specific time on the waves.
