Crestline Surge

A rising wave marks the moment the sea gathers itself—power held in a curve, sound implied in silence, and the horizon kept steady behind the motion. This emblem-style design captures that coastal rhythm as a symbol of resilience, change, and the clarity that comes with open water.

In metal, the wave is translated through sweeping cutlines that preserve the arc of the crest while using negative space to suggest foam and turbulence. The circular boundary strengthens the silhouette and creates a medallion-like presence, while the horizontal water textures add depth and a pronounced floating shadow effect as light passes across the surface.

Curator’s Note: Wave motifs have appeared across maritime cultures as symbols of continuity and transformation, often used to represent the sea’s dual nature—calm horizon and sudden force—within a single recognizable form.
