Current of Many

A drifting school is shaped into a single living pattern, where individual fish become a collective rhythm guided by an unseen current. The clustered forms suggest protection, momentum, and the quiet intelligence of the sea—an ocean story told through repetition and flow.

The design is translated into powder coated metal through confident, rounded contours that keep each fish readable while maintaining a continuous sense of motion. Negative space is preserved inside every body to create a light, buoyant structure, and the 1.5 cm floating offset amplifies depth as shadows separate the overlapping arcs into layered movement.

Curator’s Note: Schooling behavior is one of the ocean’s most recognizable patterns of cooperation, often associated with navigation, safety, and synchronized decision-making—nature’s choreography in open water.
