‘“Quantum shoal of clast flowers" is not a recognised scientific term or specific, well-known artistic concept. However, analysing the phrase brings together distinct, evocative ideas from different fields, suggesting a hybrid, abstract, or speculative image.

Based on the elements:

• Quantum: Suggests subatomic physics, uncertainty, superposition, and non-local connections (as in [space-time foam producing universes or photons forming atomic structures).

• Shoal: Indicates a large, organised group of creatures or objects moving together (often fish), hinting at collective motion or a school-like behaviour.

• Clast: Refers to a constituent fragment of a broken rock (sedimentary geology), suggesting an aggregate of fragments or geological debris.

• Flowers: Represents organic, blooming, or delicate plant structures.

Combining these suggests an evocative, perhaps surreal, image: a dense, swirling group (shoal) of geological fragments (clast) that appear as, or bloom into, delicate structures (flowers), behaving with interconnected, uncertain, and high-energy physics (quantum).’

'In the depths of matter there grows an obscure vegetation; black flowers bloom in matter’s darkness. They already possess a velvety touch, a formula for perfume.'
- Bachelard
