In a whisper-thin graphite loop, an octopus floats like a daydream on brushed aluminium, eight filaments unfurling into airy arabesques that breathe with the wall’s own cadence. Vast negative space surrounds the form, letting ambient light turn to moving water—pale platinum at noon, deep pewter after dusk. Archival dye-sublimation fuses the inky stroke beneath the metal’s skin, guarding it from UV, humidity, and time. Suspended on a concealed float frame, the panel hovers and casts a delicate halo shadow, offering a quiet centre of gravity for modern homes and contemplative workspaces alike.
