Time-lapse sped up 1000x, macro view through a microscope. In the center of the frame is a drop of supersaturated copper sulfate solution on a glass slide. From it, in all directions, like a slow-motion firework, blue-turquoise dendritic crystals begin to grow. Each branch bifurcates, forming fractal patterns resembling brain neurons or a city map. Lighting: dark field, the crystals glow from within. Colors shift due to polarization. Sound: clock ticks sped up 10x, and ambient electronic pads that swell with the growth of the crystals. The process never completes—once the crystals fill the frame, the image dissolves, and a new drop begins.
