Tidal Glyph

Tidal Glyph presents motion as a single, uninterrupted force—curves folding into curves, spirals tightening and releasing, and negative space opening like breath between waves. The composition carries a symbolic calm, where the eye follows the same path again and again, discovering new rhythms with each pass.

In metal, the design becomes a study of contour and shadow: thick, confident bands sweep through the surface while clean cutouts create bright pockets of silence. The floating offset amplifies the flow, allowing the arcs and crescents to cast a shifting halo that emphasizes the artwork’s momentum and layered depth.

Curator’s Note: Curvilinear “glyph” abstraction appears across many visual traditions because it mirrors natural physics—currents, wind shear, and spiral growth—making it one of the most universally readable languages of movement.
