Cadere is an artwork by SARES, a part of his Vertigo collection. It explores the initial descent that marks the beginning of transformation — the moment of yielding to change and accepting its inevitability. The artwork captures the first step into the unknown, defying what is established, and embracing vulnerability not as weakness, but as the foundation for renewal.
Inspired by the complex, organic structures of the Thomas Attractor, the piece visualizes this descent through rich color depth and intricate forms. A central floral mass appears to collapse inward, symbolizing the abandonment of the past and the embrace of uncertainty. Surrounding particles emerge, shift, and dissolve — illustrating the fragmentation and momentum of change while suggesting a quiet emergence of light and anticipation.
Generative geometries, shaped by the attractor’s behavior, create organic patterns that suggest hidden order within chaos. These forms reinterpret traditional symbols of stability, presenting yielding as an act of intentional surrender and the first step in the transformation process.
A third, intangible layer is introduced through the artist’s brainwave data, recorded during meditative reflection on this stage. This neural signature guides the sculpture’s generative behavior, turning personal contemplation into visual expression. The result is a biometric, evolving structure — a poetic collision of emotional resonance and algorithmic design.
Cadere becomes a suspended moment: the fall as a quiet reckoning, a visceral acceptance, and a beginning. It embodies the potential within crisis and the equilibrium needed to leap into the unknown, offering a visual language of contained collapse and inner readiness for transformation.
