Plastic Plants
Transformative organic form
A scan of coral, a plastic takeover, countless failed simulations, billions of tons of plastic, five oceans, one planet.
Working from 3D scans of coral forms, the team focused on remeshing these forms to prepare the intricate structures for the cloth simulator.
"My favourite part of the project was really exploring what it could be. I initially explored flowers — looking at how ballooning petal forms could metamorphosize but after being inspired by a project about ocean plastic, I decided on the coral concept. I decided to stay true to the orangey, pink hue of coral in order to emphasise the colour being stripped when the structure transforms to plastic."
