What happens when melting is constrained?
Encased Melting begins with chaos: nine procedural textures, each formed by melting abstract shapes. Then they're wrapped, one by one, onto the surface of a spinning sphere.
Something about the result feels planetary.
This is structure containing liquidity.
A soft thing sealed in a hard shell.
It's trying not to remember it was ever fluid.
