BREAKFAST (AKA Zolty) here. The “ocean” aspect of the piece is in how it moves and the real-time API data that drives the wave-like motion. It grabs live tide data from a different coastal city each minute and changes based on that. The gold and marble bricks took inspiration from the Fontainebleau art deco style of their original Miami hotel (this piece lives in their Vegas location).

Here’s a clip of it moving (doesn’t read so well as a static image): https://theartistbreakfast.com/works/oceans

Can someone explain the “Fontainebleau art deco style”? I have been to Fountainbleau and I remember it as much older renaissance style architecture and geometric/baroque gardens.

Whoah!

Sorry, I was half joking, half of me gets the metaphor, but the other me is seeing a wall of bricks of gold in a Las Vegas casino and gets another metaphor.

Either way it's beautiful!
