MAGICAL SHAPES

The form and age of the fossils are the theme of this work. The form of creatures is organic, and is always governed by a certain law. The geometric form of a pentagon or star is balanced and functional, and is derived from nature. A fossilized creature loses the elements of its body’s surface, and hard parts such as bones and teeth rise to the surface. I am very interested that fossils have existed throughout million years and have showed us how old living things exist on earth.

To describe the details of the fossil and to clearly show the natural laws governing the creature, I took a macro photo by using a medium-format camera, then expanded it and made it nearly 30 times larger. By using this technique, the mysterious natures of various creatures will be revealed.
