ARCT Identity

An explanation of how empty space acquires energy comes from the quantum theory of matter. In this theory, «empty space» is actually full of temporary («virtual») particles that continually form and then disappear.

Empty space (Vacuum) is not Empty, it’s full of virtual particle/antiparticle pairs that pop in and out of existence. The ARCT identity is an abstraction of these particles. The particles are a result of the color palette used in the current collections (or extracted from the process), changing each season.

Form variations
