This structurally simple video, shot through Benglis's apartment window, contains a, "distinct disjuncture between the visual and aural components of the work. The viewer, initially presented with a contemplative view of nature, is frequently distracted by the chatter of a radio. As the camera zooms in and out, it establishes a dichotomy: indoors and outdoors, the man-made and the natural. The window frame echoes the limited view framed by the camera, while the wide expanse of the outdoors and the reflections in the window panes suggest the infinite possibilities of the world just beyond view."
