Concept

The concept behind the project is to explore the natural world and use it as inspiration to generate abstract forms.

Color and shape

By exploring the textures, colors, and shapes found in the natural world, we discovered new unique abstract forms that have a strong sense of organic energy.

Texture

By looking at the intricate details of flowers and vegetation we created stunning abstract forms that capture the unexplained essence and beauty of nature.

Light

Our goal is to create a visual connection between the natural and the abstract, highlighting the beauty of both.

Process

All shapes and forms were created using simulation and procedural methods inside Houdini. This gave us the opportunity to reproduce as closely as possible the processes occurring in the real world. By showcasing the natural beauty in such an abstract way, we hope to ignite a new appreciation for the natural world in the viewer.
