Glass-wave ocean swells horizontal study

Glass-wave ocean swells horizontal study

A wide, horizontal composition inspired by calm ocean swells, with three broad bands of liquid glass gently rising from left to right across a cool blue to teal gradient, suggesting slow-moving waves under soft daylight. Each band is a thick, glassy ridge with rounded crests, the nearest one occupying the lower third of the frame and refracting the gradient into flowing cyan streaks with restrained amber highlights along its upper edge, hinting at a slightly warmer “day UI” tone. The middle and distant bands are progressively softer and more diffuse, their edges less defined to preserve depth without adding clutter. The upper half of the image, especially the top-right quadrant, is deliberately airy: a clean, moderately bright gradient from teal to pale cyan with almost no visible texture, ideal for icons or headline copy. A gentle, diffuse light from the upper left creates smooth reflections along the wave tops, with subtle bloom and no harsh specular points. Micro-texture appears only as a faint vignette in the darkest corners, barely noticeable but helping the central area feel even clearer. The mood is open and expansive, with the glass waves reading as slow, weighty forms suspended over a tranquil backdrop. No logos or readable text appear anywhere in the image.
