Petrified Shallows
Eternal Tide Pools
“Time stands still and memories carved in stone capture eternal paths of journeys that once were and always will be„
Introducing the Petrified Shallows, a profound exploration of time, memories, and the eternal paths that weave through our journeys. Available in both pendant and tealight holder versions, this collection is a reminder that like memories carved in stone, the beauty of our journeys endures through time.
Tealight Holder Version
Immerse yourself in a Voronoi pattern that echoes the intricate paths of life. Each flickering flame within casts a warm glow through this symbolic representation of journeys once embarked upon.
Pendant Version
Elevate your space with the pendant version, where a larger scale suspended Voronoi pattern captures the essence of everlasting paths and memories, a testament to the enduring beauty of the past and the timeless allure of the future.

Inner Workings
The Petrified Shallows designs are generated via Worley noise. This is a procedural texture generation algorithm based on the concept of Voronoi tessellation, a mathematical method for dividing a plane into regions around a set of seed points. In Voronoi tessellation, each region consists of all points closer to one specific seed point than to any other, resulting in a mosaic-like pattern where each cell represents an area of influence around its corresponding seed.
In nature, patterns resembling Voronoi tessellations are ubiquitous. Soil fractures and cracked mud often form as the ground dries and contracts, creating polygonal cells like those produced by Worley noise. Biological structures, such as the distribution of plant cells, animal skin pigmentation, and even the layout of giraffe spots, also resemble Voronoi patterns due to the natural processes that minimize energy or maximize resource distribution efficiency. The branching of blood vessels, leaf venation, and the growth patterns of coral and fungi can all be modeled with Voronoi-like algorithms, illustrating how such patterns are a fundamental outcome of organic development.
Worley noise is widely used in digital content creation to replicate these natural patterns, bridging the gap between mathematics and the organic forms that surround us.
