Terrarium : Collaborative Art Project (@everlove)

Here is my interpretation of @everlove’s original photograph (linked here). Her image of abstract green tones at first appears as some sort of reflective collage, but on second glance you can see that the highlights reveal a glass bottle with plant life inside.

With the bottle in mind, I aimed to render an abstracted terrarium landscape. I used a 3D digital modeling software to read the bright and dark hues as high and low topography. The result is a colorfully contoured landscape.

Progress & Process

Here are images of the work in process, beginning with @everlove’s original image, below:

The original image was softened to identify high and low features and bring into a 3D modeling script that identifies high and low points through pixel contrast.

Here are a few snapshot renderings of the fully mapped landscape below:

A big thanks to @everlove for hosting such a fun and thoughtful project that promotes community engagement! If you haven't already, take a look at the open call to participate.
