A Mobile Swaying with the Wind, Straight (S) — Shida Manami

A Mobile Swaying with the Wind, Straight(S) — Shida Manami

The wind shapes waves, carries sound, and gathers sand and stone as it moves through space.
An invisible presence, gently held for a moment.
Inspired by time spent along the shore, this mobile does not attempt to capture the wind, but to softly gather and release it, allowing it to pass through in a continuous flow.
