Circle as an Organism
With the idea of a circle as a symbol of a biological cell, the smallest organism, I began to morph and multiply its shape. First, with one additional cell, then, two additional ones, and so forth. The shapes are inspired from simple sea organisms, though my intention was not to recreate them, more so to spawn something new. I’m following the growth of a circle as a key element. It is interesting that the dynamic of the shape is similar to vivid organisms and inorganic gas bubbles in water. The relation between the two elements gives movement and countless variants of its form.
