There are times when I really felt to be in snow. Playing around, wandering around and feeling the snow, its touch and enjoy the beauty in its pure white form. During my time in England, Wales and Scotland, I have felt it. Sometimes while watching movies (such as Chronicles of Narnia etc..) I have felt the same. Now the Japanese Designer Tokujin Yoshioka's Spider's Thread is a full-on crystalline fantasy scape, taking his previous work Crystallised Project to a whole new level. Developed via chemical synthesis, Yoshioka's signature crystals are formed through methodical cultivation on the surfaces of select materials.
The inspiration for the project was a traditional Japanese story, The Spider's Thread, by writer Ryunosuke Akutagawa, widely considered to be the father of Japanese short story. In Japanese Culture, a spider's thread represents hope and fragility, two key elements to Yoshioka's work.
Take a look below as a snowflake in the studio becomes a crystal forest in a gallery:
