About Water Ripples Kiti
Kazi hiyo inategemea mawimbi ya maji, na hugeuza eneo la asili kuwa kiti cha kutikisa kinachoingiliana ambacho hukuruhusu kuketi au kulala kwenye kiti kana kwamba mwili unayumba kwa uangalifu pamoja na miondoko ya mawimbi ya maji. Tabia yake ni muundo unaotiririka wa mawimbi ya maji. Haijalishi ndani au nje, haswa mahali ambapo kuna mwanga, viwimbi vyake vya maji vitaonyesha mwanga wa asili na kivuli kupitia ardhi. Ni kama mchongo mkali wenye dhana ya kisanii wakati umepumzika; hata hivyo, inakuwa kipande cha samani cha kuvutia wakati mwingiliano hutokea.
