Caustic Clouds explores the interaction of light with transparent mediums, simulating the patterns you might see at the bottom of a pool or through glass. The piece creates an otherworldly atmosphere through the constant flow and evolution of these light patterns.
The simulation combines fluid dynamics principles with light caustics mathematics to create organic, ever-changing patterns that feel both natural and supernatural simultaneously.
Artistic Intent
The piece aims to capture the mesmerizing quality of natural caustic patterns while pushing into more abstract territory, creating a space for contemplation and meditation.
