Radiolaria arcana

Radiolaria Arcana is a parametric wearable sculpture inspired by deep‑sea radiolarians—marine organisms known for their intricate carbonate lattices and star‑shaped geometries. Its form merges the logic of echinoderms and microscopic pelagic creatures, translating their natural mesh structures into an alien, crystalline architecture. The piece features a star‑like body with elongated spines and a porous central core, evoking the mineral skeletons found in abyssal ecosystems. Through computational topology, each rib, cavity, and aperture is grown digitally, giving the sculpture a precise yet organic presence. Radiolaria Arcana embodies the beauty of organisms evolved in unfamiliar environments—part sea creature, part extraterrestrial fossil—transformed into a delicate, body‑framing ornament.
