Capsid

Emerging from a dark gradient backdrop, a twisted column of interconnected hexagonal prisms spirals upward like a metallic helix. The vibrant shades of electric blue and teal reflect light across the structure’s sharp angles and smooth surfaces, creating a mesmerizing interplay between shadow and shine.

Inspired by the shape of a capsid—the protective shell of a virus—the artwork captures the complexity of life at a microscopic level. The intersecting prisms form a rigid yet dynamic entity, embodying themes of protection, adaptation, and resilience. There is an inherent tension within the piece, as if the structure is caught in a state of constant transformation.

The viewer is invited to explore the delicate balance between order and chaos, symmetry and randomness, that underpins nature’s most fundamental designs. It’s a visual representation of the unseen forces shaping our world, offering a glimpse into the intricate beauty and hidden structures of existence.
