Strata II is part of a three-work series: Strata I, II, and III, by Dennis H Miller.

Flowing color and music combine into a meditative journey. Blocks of vibrant hues — blues, reds, yellows, and oranges — shift and melt into one another with smooth, steady motion. The transformations are continuous, never abrupt, giving the impression of a landscape that is always in flux yet consistently balanced.

The animation unfolds like a passage through layered terrains: one moment alive with bright contrast, the next more subdued, as colors blend and reshape the surface. Its motion carries a sense of quiet inevitability, as though each transformation leads naturally to the next. The mellow original score underscores this atmosphere, enhancing the work’s immersive quality without demanding attention.

The ending brings a mostly white field, not as a dramatic shift but as an inevitable conclusion — a clearing that reflects the natural arc of the journey. Viewers often experience it as the culmination of a passage: an invitation to pause, breathe, and take in the calm.

Equally suited to home or public settings, Strata II functions as contemporary abstract moving art — colorful, smooth, and atmospheric, designed to enrich its surroundings with a sense of flow and renewal.
