Director's note

Let the material do it. One grown object, hard sun through its holes, a saturated ground behind, and only thin lines and sparkles as graphics, so the lattice stays the whole story.

About this brief

How do I photograph the Biomorphic Futurism aesthetic?

Products that look grown, not built: porous iridescent lattices in hard sun.

Let the material do it. One grown object, hard sun through its holes, a saturated ground behind, and only thin lines and sparkles as graphics, so the lattice stays the whole story.
