Drift
Plankton, also called “drifters” or “wanderers,” are a group of organisms that rely on the winds, currents, and tides of the ocean to move from one place to another. Plankton forms the basic level of the marine food web - but not only as a food source but also as a carbon sink, the well-being of plankton is crucial to the future of humanity.
The shape of these necklace links was inspired by the calcium carbonate scales, so-called coccoliths, which form a sphere around the core of the Rhabdosphaera Clavigera. This species belongs to the Coccolithophores and is a unicellular phytoplankton.
