Ripple | Stainless Steel Sculpture

“Ripple”, water ripple sculpture by Alvin Mak. After years of creative work based on the study of the Victoria Harbour in Hong Kong, Alvin recreated his water photography into three-dimensional wall reliefs.

The kinetics of the waves are sketched, photographed and made into 3D computer models to machine a seed model. The seed is replicated into a hard resin, from which stainless steel is fabricated and polished to a mirror finish. The result is a water ripple sculpture which mirrors and reflects light like a piece of the ocean wave. It brings the ripples into the interior and encourages viewer interaction.
