About Water Ripples Ang Lingkuranan

Ang trabaho gibase sa mga balod sa tubig, ug gihimo niini ang natural nga talan-awon nga usa ka interactive nga rocking chair nga nagtugot kanimo sa paglingkod o paghigda sa lingkoranan nga ingon og ang lawas nga walay pagtagad nga nag-agay uban sa mga lihok sa mga ripples sa tubig. Ang kinaiya niini mao ang nagdagayday nga texture sa mga ripples sa tubig. Bisan pa sa sulod o sa gawas, labi na kung adunay kahayag, ang mga ripple sa tubig niini magpakita sa natural nga kahayag ug anino sa yuta. Kini sama sa usa ka ripple sculpture nga adunay artistic nga pagpanamkon kung kini nagpahulay; bisan pa, kini mahimong usa ka makapaikag nga piraso sa muwebles kung adunay usa ka interaksyon nga mahitabo.
