...that makes their familiarity painfully evident. Wing is hyper-self-conscious about symmetry and repetition, about pattern and economy of perspective. He uses ambient light to affect a sort of cheapness of color and thus draws attention to aesthetic costs of a buyer-friendly market place—lifeless blues and greens and oranges. The photographs themselves are mechanically arranged on the wall, with the same precision of placement and over-attention to balance and equilibrium.

In contrast to the spectacular fish and coral found elsewhere, the waters are lifeless. The only color to be seen under the waves comes from the luminous green of a beer can or the white from a Styrofoam takeout box. Onshore, as the sun goes down, the beach could barely be more alive. Crowds of backpackers squeeze into seven beachfront clubs on a mile...
