"No-destination" begins with two differently sized quarter circles aligned vertically along the x-axis—the smaller one at the top and the larger one at the bottom—sharing a single tangent point in the middle.

 

This tangent point shifts as the upper end of the smaller quarter circle pivots. The movement stops at 135 degrees before the quarter circle crosses the x-axis.

 

When the two quarter circles are initially aligned vertically and revolved 360 degrees around the x-axis, they generate a symmetrical, seed-like volume. This process of revolving creates a three-dimensional solid by sweeping the two-dimensional forms around the axis. As the tangent point extends to its final position, the folded quarter circles stretch and transform. When revolved around the x-axis at this stage, the resulting volume evolves into a flower-like shape.

 

My intention was to showcase this transformation, illustrating how the "seeds" grow into “a flower” through the gradual progression of form and volume.
