Specimen 18 - Quantum Seed

Specimen 18 – Quantum Seed

Artifact Log — Day 091

A compact unit formed around a central core, sealed yet visibly strained.
The tapered protrusion suggests directionality — an orientation toward emergence, transmission, or release.

Binding elements trace the surface like containment lines, implying that the object is held in a suspended state prior to activation.

As an artifact, the seed documents potential rather than outcome.
It exists at the threshold between latency and expansion.

Dimensions: W 18 cm × D 12 cm × H 11 cm
Materials: Stoneware, mirror glaze, neon rope

Unearthed Artifacts: Post-Cyberpunk Relics from a Forgotten Future presents a series of ceramic works that sit at the intersection of speculative archaeology and cyberpunk futurism. Vancouver-based artist Wilson Makgawinata forms these bulbous, pressure-like vessels through a hybrid process of wheel throwing and handbuilding, pushing clay beyond its familiar functions. Small modular components such as screws, plugs, and spherical nodes are slip-cast and integrated as functional-looking attachments, creating a visual language of connectors, ports, and interfaces.
