Visual traits

  • Mid-transition: concentric rings of black ink alternating with pale gray rings, spreading from several centers on pale paper
  • The rings are bent and twisted by a gentle vortex, but stay continuous and never cross
  • Ring widths vary slightly; edges are soft but defined, like ink floating on water
  • Sequence: rings spread and swirl until they seal the frame at the midpoint, then clear to reveal the next shot
