Curved stainless steel forms rise from the waterfront like rolling waves. Their brushed surfaces catch the last cool light and lift it into silver. Each spiral curls back on itself, revealing seams and rivets that read like tide lines. The ground is quiet and the canal behind them holds a clear reflection. Evening clouds spread in soft bands of blue and peach, and a faint breeze moves through nearby trees. The scene feels both marine and architectural, a rhythm of repeating arcs set against open sky and calm water at a Seattle shoreline.
I walked the plaza looking for an angle that linked the spirals. A low stance let the nearest curve frame the smaller curls beyond. I waited for the sky to balance, then placed the canal between the sculpture and the horizon. A narrow aperture kept the metal crisp from front to back. The light was steady and cool, perfect for revealing texture. I made several frames as the clouds thinned. I loved how the forms read as water, yet stayed unmistakably human made. That quiet tension is what I wanted to share.
