 In the beginning of time, “Who shut up the sea behind doors, when it burst forth from the womb?” 

As a visual response to this bibilcal verse from the Book of Job, the four corners of a single image were clipped and presented as four individual images. Despite being separated, these images nonetheless, entangled with each other in forming a coherent picture, just as the ocean was separated and contained into different seas yet remains as a whole.
