Research process
Submerge came to life by looking at some unused R&D tests for another project with new eyes.
The softness from the very initial shapes sparked enough curiosity to continue exploring this system and see what could emerge from it until the very end.
It could be this abstract underwater creature, just being in the depths of the ocean, where there’s barely any light.
And just when we discover it, it gets a bit scared and starts to spew a weird metallic liquid as a way of beautiful self-defence, getting covered by it, while still moving, because it’s still a bit scared.
