By creating printed 3D models of cyclones, an ephemeral moment in time is frozen into something sculptural and beautiful that can actually be touched and seen as a three-dimensional form. The 3D models are accompanied by an info booklet which provides basic information on the topic, the storms that were chosen and the realisation process of the modelling and printing.

The project is geared towards a toy system design consisting of pieces that can be randomly placed, arranged, built or connected – just to one’s taste.
