One Second of Wind is part of the series Topographic Report of Synthetic Horizon. Comprising a terrain height-map sculpture and a synchronized light installation, the piece functions as a "frozen fragment" extracted from a complex, chaotic system.

While the work shares its DNA with the geomorphogenic algorithm of Counterfactual Dunes, its intent is fundamentally different. Rather than emulating the constant flux of a real-time simulation, this piece isolates a single, infinitesimal "tick" of the computational process. It filters out the turbulence of the natural process , distilling the violent energy of dune formation into a state of serene permanence.

In this arrested state, light functions as both interpreter and instrument. The sculpture’s surface becomes a register for illumination. It picks out micro-reliefs, sharpens edges, and deepens shadowed basins. Light does not simply land on the form; it animates it, turning a static artifact into a sequence of shifting readings as though the landscape were slowly rotating under an invisible sky. What is silent begins to feel atmospheric.

By arresting the simulation, the work offers a meditative perspective on the natural world, transforming a fleeting mathematical event into an isolated motionless moment. It is an invitation to consider how chaos can be rendered, briefly, as clarity, and how the wind can be seen only when it leaves something behind.
