Wenting Zhu and the team at Beauty of Science have released another visual ode to nature’s processes. “Crystal Garden: Seasons” combines organic compounds and pigments to create a kaleidoscope of colorful growths that spring up and crawl across the tiny, round vessels. Zhu, who is the studio’s lead science artist, writes about the project: “Garden serves as a metaphor for the meeting of the natural and the man-made. A garden is a space where nature and human intention intertwine: neither wholly wild nor entirely artificial.”
