Maple-Flow Victoria Ferry Ticket Sliding Magnet (Pre-Order)

Passage, motion, and coastal memory—captured in a single piece.

The Maple-Flow Victoria Ferry Ticket Sliding Magnet is crafted from metal and finished with a layered flowing fiber technique. Inspired by maritime ticket ephemera and the ritual of departure, this piece captures the act of passage between two cities—and preserves it in a tactile form.

Each magnet contains flowing fibers that settle naturally during hand assembly. No two pieces are identical: every internal flow pattern is shaped by gravity, time, and human touch. Each piece carries its own rhythm, direction, and subtle movement—like currents beneath a moving ferry.

The metal body provides weight and structural clarity, while the layered interior adds depth, softness, and a sense of atmospheric motion. A miniature sliding carriage moves along the ticket, echoing the measured pace and historical calm of Victoria. Whether displayed on a refrigerator, magnetic board, or workspace, it offers a quiet reminder of travel, distance, and arrival—both decorative and contemplative.
