Ecology: Contained

"Ecology" poster three. The "improbability"
addressed in this composition is the phenomenon
of terrariums being able to maintain their own water
cycles (as a closed ecosystem) without human
interference for up to six months. The point is
illustrated by the fact that this terrarium has been
planted with no possibility of opening. Not only does
it maintain its own life cycle but has its own sun.
The root system (created by scanning the silk of
corn) is the only thing that is accessible to the
outside world.
