Shape of Water

In Shape of Water the ocean becomes both a mirror and a witness: a silent storyteller of beauty, betrayal, and transformation. Continuing the exploration from Tau’s earlier work If Plastic Cups Could Dream, They Would Be Filled with Ocean, this collection unfolds as a quiet lament where synthetic and organic forms melt into each other in a slow, liquid dance.

Built from a custom AI model trained on photographs of found objects such as plastic and glass fragments embedded in daily life these works reimagine detritus as something almost alive. Shapes shimmer and dissolve, evoking distant memories of waves and flowing bodies, but also revealing a fragile world built on remnants and ruins.
