8. The Perfect Snowflake
Advertisement
This dreamlike world interacts with scale and perspective to turn a little ice crystal become a massive obstacle. The great problem gains a wonderful element of humour from the informal underplay of characterising a big snowflake as "just a small snowflake blocking the road". The picture brilliantly depicts the complex beauty and exquisite symmetry of a snowflake by means of advanced digital craftsmanship, so significantly expanding its scale to produce an impossible but mesmerising sight. While its great size lets spectators enjoy these usually microscopic characteristics on a vast scale, the proclamation of it being "the most perfect snowflake ever created" honours the natural geometry and complex patterns present in these ice crystals. This artistic interpretation produces a visually appealing and conceptually interesting work by combining inventive storytelling with scientific respect of natural events.
