Flux

Unseen forces are rooted in nature’s design – ripples in sand, patterns on a spotted eagle ray’s back emerge naturally. Known as “Turing patterns,” yet they existed long before humans emerged with the language to describe them. Sculpting wet clay by hand, felt akin to how the texture of the skin might feel. Every spot mirrors the precise position and form of an actual eagle ray’s markings. Making each one felt like retracing the intelligence that organised the creature itself.
