Puddles/portals.

Not to be too self indulgent-but this is the future.  

...
I just feel its important.  Now that sounds dopey 》》Gosh - ok -

I have had a Eureka moment so ill clam down and explain.   These wired- wierd- clear discs are an attempt to represent a field of energy.  Maybe even as far as the universe-no probably just a window- its a film affected by heat and gravity on both sides.  These effects are highlighted by pigment allowed to dry wherever gravity took it. The clear wiggles are hot glue which has cooled to change the tension of the film and determine the overall shape and structure.

Its random.
Its controlled. 
Its feeble. ... graphic.
Autonomous.
All made of plastic. 
One material in multiple forms.
Flexible.
A barrier. 

I have been thinking about the tension of water. Like a puddle. As if a window to another material,  surface tension is a division.   Surface tension is a barrier.  Is it essentially electricity?  What makes the divide clear until pressure overrides.  Where is the line. Temperature? 
I need to look into this. ...

I but I also hope I don't read all my answers in books,  I want to find some myself. ..
