About Water Ripples आसनम्
जलतरङ्गेषु आधारितमिदं कार्यं प्राकृतिकदृश्यस्य परस्परक्रियात्मकदोलनासने परिवर्तनं करोति यत्र उपविष्टः शयानो वा व्यक्तिः जलतरङ्गगत्या सह निर्विघ्नं स्वयं दोलयितुं शक्नोति। अस्य विशेषता प्रवाहमानजलतरङ्गानां बाह्यसंरचना अस्ति। गृहान्तरे गृहबहिः वा विशेषतः यत्र प्रकाशः विद्यते तत्र एतस्य जलतरङ्गाः भूतले प्राकृतिकप्रकाशच्छायां दर्शयन्ति। स्थिरावस्थायां एतत् कलात्मकभावयुक्तं तरङ्गशिल्पमिव प्रतीयते परन्तु परस्परक्रियायां सत्यां मनोहरं गृहोपस्करखण्डं भवति।
