Crest emerges from the sand and snow of the Toronto Beaches as a sweeping wave positioned moments before break. From afar, the installation resembles a mere pile of driftwood washed up on the beach. As one approaches, the geometry of the wave gradually reveals itself. The waffled plywood form acts as an illusion where individual pieces appear and disappear with different directions of arrival, merging with the landscape beyond.

The cantilever of the wave envelops and invites visitors to gather, sharing a moment to pause and take in the vast Lake Ontario coastline. Like the fleeting moment of a wave crashing onto shore, the installation serves as a reminder that reality is finite, and fulfillment is found in being present.
