[1] By controlling the fluid with a magnetic field, it is formed to create complex 3-dimensional shapes as a "liquid sculpture".
Its biological diversity greatly inspired her curiosity toward art and science.
[3][4][5] Kodama started working in ferrofluid with her project "Protrude, Flow" in 2000, created in collaboration with Minako Takeno.
[6] "Protrude, Flow" was exhibited at the SIGGRAPH 2001 Art Gallery,[7] the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles, and the Mood River exhibition held at the Wexner Center for the Arts in Columbus.
