This series of laser-etched pieces documents the artist’s method of creation, using strings of light and past natural elements as creation scrolls. The pieces show different graphs deconstructed into animated frames from academic papers published by morphology professor Gábor Domokos, who is a constant collaborator with the artist in her world-building process.
The research duo collected data of pebbles on the shores of Greece using the Zingg diagram, a system that classifies geological sediments into spheres, blades, rods, and disks. They counted the equilibrium and disequilibrium sides and points of each pebble to create a much deeper understanding of the shape formation cycle of pebbles in nature impacted by flowing water and fragmentation.
The gömböc has motivated research about the evolution of natural shapes. While gömböc-shaped pebbles are rare, the connection between geometric shape and the number of static balance points appears to be key in understanding natural shape evolution.
