undulating

Vocabulary Word

Definition

'Undulating' describes a soft, rolling motion, like the waves on an ocean. It's more than simple movement - it's about capturing the fluid, consistent, wave-like pattern of motion.

Examples in Different Contexts

In art and design, 'undulating' forms or lines can evoke movement, rhythm, and dynamism. An artist might say, 'My sculpture features undulating contours to simulate the ebb and flow of tides, symbolizing life’s constant fluctuations and cycles.'
