Inspired by a moment of solitude standing on the sandy shores watching the tide roll in, as a large waves break over a shallow rock shelf in the distance revealing the unique embankment below. Bombora was inspired by the breaking waves as they crash into the formations below, a twisting of water that moves and dances like cables.
