About Water Ripples Cathaoir
Tá an obair bunaithe ar na ripples uisce, agus casann sé an radharc nádúrtha isteach i gcathaoir rocála idirghníomhach a ligeann duit suí nó luí síos ar an gcathaoir amhail is go luascann an corp go míchúramach in éineacht le gluaiseachtaí sceithíní uisce. Is é an tréith atá aige ná uigeacht sreafa na gcrannacha uisce. Is cuma laistigh nó lasmuigh, go háirithe nuair a bhíonn solas ann, taispeánfaidh a ripples uisce solas nádúrtha agus scáth tríd an talamh. Tá sé cosúil le dealbh ripple le coincheap ealaíne nuair a bhíonn sé ar fos; áfach, bíonn sé ina phíosa troscáin iontach nuair a tharlaíonn idirghníomhú.
