Beneath the waves, warplanes become manta rays, and battleships turn into drifting crocodiles—the ocean playfully reshaping power. Surface Tension is both a physical threshold and a trickster, distorting the dominance above. From below, the sea watches back, absorbing, subverting, and blurring the lines between predator and environment. Here, control is fluid, and the question remains: who is really in charge—the machines above or the deep below?
