To capture the temporal aspect in SHFT 17, Struycken showed six consecutive stages of a process in each drawing, represented by red, green and blue, by drawing only one part of each moment and leaving the remaining part open. Each subsequent stage therefore only partly covers the preceding stages. The preceding stages can be seen through the openings.
He compares this visual effect with looking through the rear window of a moving car. The area that has just been driven past always covers part of the image that was previously passed. You also experience the change of time and place in an everyday situation, through the overlap of images.
Just as it is possible to allow sinuses to progress indefinitely in an interaction without repetition, it is also possible to make the interaction cyclical. The nine consecutive drawings move through precisely one cycle. In each drawing the same number of consecutive moments are superimposed over each other, so that the image becomes complex, suggesting a three-dimensionality with two-dimensional layers. There is both a horizontal movement of the moving waves while the consecutive moments suggest a depth-wise movement.
