A God of Song and Sand has a sonic quality to its form. Two human legs break at the hips and outstretch into an undulating coral form that appears to ebb and flow in the water. The coral form stretches outwards past the edges of the frame. The figure inherently takes up space and exists beyond the bounds of our comprehension. Sikelianos-Carter described their tendrils floating through space underwater similar to the tendrils of a jellyfish. A soft membrane. This figure may have the ability to change its form and tactility, from soft and tender to stoney and strong.
