DECOMPOSE by Nika Nikifi is a 3D rendered work that investigates the phenomenon of dispersion—the splitting of visible light into its component colors—as both subject and technique. Built in Houdini, the piece features an ornate, braided glass form that appears suspended in a world untethered by gravity, cycling between states of solid geometry and molten collapse.

Clear and faceted, the material acts as a lens for spectral color, with each contour scattering light into shifting waves of iridescence. The composition glows with internal energy: clusters of form bloom and dissolve like currents in a liquid prism, coalescing into intricate detail before reforming anew. DECOMPOSE is a meditation on entropy and renewal, where motion, matter, and light converge in quiet cinematic tension.
