Traveling Soliton

Traveling Soliton

The soliton is a rare kind of wave—one that holds its shape as it moves, balancing forces that would normally cause it to break apart. Originating from quantum field theory, the Klein-Gordon soliton in this work drifts slowly, at just 1% the speed of light. Once stable, it begins to fracture like a mirror under pressure, revealing a quiet tension beneath its surface—a reflection on the fragility within forms we imagine to be unbreakable.
