Decoding the lab experiments with this art book series, readers can experience the process of crystal formation, which opens up a journey of the unknowns: transient and unpredictable. Behind the chaotic macro reactions, entropy reduction movements at the particle level are more neatly formed. Such controversy becomes the philosophy of this project to mirror the paradox of life and nature. The uniquely designed 3.5D structures reproduce the crystal topology dynamically. Premium acetate printing celebrates the aesthetics of crystallization: the code of nature.
