Exclude shape overlaps.

Create cutout patterns from overlapping contours.

Remove the overlap while keeping the parts outside it. Two tilted ellipses rotate apart under Exclude, making curved Sea petals around an open center. Each ellipse and the Boolean operator can still be changed.

Try it in your agent.

Use this prompt as a starting point. Review the result, then ask for the details you want to change.

A prompt to start from

Use Strata. Create an eight-second silent Strata negative-space composition on Cloud. Set “Find a new / opening.” at left. At right, cross two tall editable ellipses in Sea using a Exclude Boolean operator. Rotate them in opposite directions to open four curved petals while the overlapping middle stays transparent. Use a restrained ease, finish by about three seconds, then hold. Do not manually redraw or hide the intersection with a matching background shape.

A few useful details.

How do I try this with my agent?

Copy the prompt into your supported local agent with Strata installed. Review the preview, then ask for the changes you want. The composition stays editable as you refine it.
