spherical shapes

Balls and orbs

Spherical shapes are forms that are round in three dimensions, like balls or globes.

The phrase is somewhat redundant—spherical already describes something shaped like a sphere—but it emphasizes the roundness of objects being discussed: The artist worked exclusively with spherical shapes.

In geometry, a sphere is perfectly round in all directions from its center.
