Wenting Zhu and the team at Beauty of Science have released another visual ode to nature’s processes. “Crystal Garden: Seasons” features more than 100 chemical compounds manipulated with various pigments to create a kaleidoscope of colorful growths that spring up and crawl across the tiny, round vessels. Zhu writes about the project: “Garden serves as a metaphor for the meeting of the natural and the man-made. A garden is a space where nature and human intention intertwine: neither wholly wild nor entirely artificial.”

Find more on Beauty of Science’s Behance and website. You also might enjoy the studio’s study of molds and salt.
