*BLINK* originally grew from our fascination with Baroque vanitas paintings, 17th century still life artworks filled with symbolic objects chosen to remind us of our mortality: hourglasses, skulls, burning candles, butterflies, bubbles. From this inspiration, we distilled the bubble as our object of fascination: the bubble as a symbol of both ephemerality and joy. *BLINK* is in conversation with our other work, which often plays with time and scale. Here we display the bubble at a large scale, with background streams and fields that reference some of our most well-known examples from *The Book of Shaders*. The effect is the delicacy of a bubble shown at planetary scale.
