Made as part of a series, exploring the kinds of complexities in various domains of the physical-natural world through form, this film turns to the microscopic

Systematic cellular structures lead to intricately patterned leaves, and diverse appendages from flagella to cilia, along with the properties of water at these scales, result in movements, some composed and assertive, some instinctive and ambiguous, all the while enigmatic and otherworldly

The speed and polar coordinates of the microbes are mapped to the compounded frequencies and amplitudes of the synthesized sound

Five leaves were scanned and reassembled, frame-wise, based on the transformed coordinates of the microbes from circular space to that of the leaves’ dimensions, resulting in apparent motion while retaining some of the glitchy artifacts from the process of assembly
