Oscillating Tectonics

Oscillating Tectonics envisions identity as a series of shifting plates forged by intersecting waveforms. The artwork arranges multiple layers of sinuous lines, each offset in distinct ways to evoke the idea of tectonic boundaries that perpetually drift in subtle motions. These overlapping “plates” allude to the continuous, underlying tremors that shape our sense of self. While each layer follows a systematic waveform, random fluctuations in amplitude, frequency, and phase imbue the drawing with a sense of organic dynamism. The result is a tessellation of interlocking waves—a portrait of identity as an evolving terrain under the influence of unseen currents.
