The installation, Patterns of Probability, is comprised of seventy steel tripods that support two sheets of glass. The tripods are set at various heights to create a topography of information where some information is unattainable.

Contained between the sheets of glass are pages from two books and an image printed on them taken from nature ranging from a cosmic to a subatomic scale. This material was coated with multiple layers of a gelatinous medium and sealed shut. The medium creates an environment conducive to the unseen organisms on the pages, which eventually compromised the information within the glass sheets.
