Modified giclée archival print on canvas, safety glass, polymer resin, mp3 device with audio track "Augmented Tsunami and Whirlpool Audio" by James Cordas (2011) on hand built wood panel. This piece has a 1/4in output on the bottom right corner. There is an embedded ipod behind the surface of the picture that plays the associated audio track when you "plug into" the work. The audio is designed to act as an accompaniment to the visual work and created specifically for this work by the artist. The work has undergone many phases of treatments that produce a picture that is a different viewing experience from all vantage points near and far, macro and micro. The outer most treatment of broken safety glass acts as a distortion to both the picture and the light of the room it is in. They highly resemble diamonds but were chosen for their conceptual relativity to the picture itself. The image is an aerial photograph of a whirlpool that formed off the Japan coastline during the 2011 earthquake/tsunami phenomena. 

The frame is a 1/8th inch thick and natural wood color. It is 2 inchs deep. It is inlayed with an 1/8 inch width between the painting and the frame.
