Description:

This piece is a result of artistic impression and scientific reasoning. I wanted to explore topological geography in a virtual universe using my self-organizing processes. Images from the Hubble Space Telescope look like images of microscopic creatures, which inspired my new vision, including a new texture and developing process for the surface, with viscosity and gravity.
