Dynamic fluid

These images captures the moment that water splashes or engulf something and becomes the most dynamic, creating the shape that can only be seen in the liquid. Also, they are quite good images to show the beauty of its transparency.

It is pretty unique that similar shapes are formed by the water being poured into the water itself and splashes both under and above the surface. They are not perfectly symmetrical, but still interesting form in terms of its volume without any container and different patterns they form.

I found this image quite interesting that models of water molecule sinking in the water and it helped me to visualise the molecular system of water in microscopic level as well as their behaviour in different states, solid-liquid-and gas.

In this image, water is drawn like it slowly flows in the air which makes it not as dynamic as the other images. Unlike other images where water is just a matter where something else splashes onto it, this image indicates one of many possible patterns that can be generated by the movement of liquid itself.

Week1 : 3 inspirational images

Water

The geometry formed by waves with reflection of light looks quite different from the regular geometry made by interference of several waves. Looking at this image I found it is interesting when an object is mirrored on the surface of the water as it forms irregular geometry depending on the object and diffusion of the light on it.  

Snow crystals

The crystallsing water is one of the most stunning geometry in the natural system. It could offer some ideas for modelling in terms of regularity and aesthetic aspects. 

Fractal system

This image if the Grand Canyon displays the fractal pattern created by the Colorado River over millions of years. The repetition of the identical patterns at different scales looks pretty amazing in this aerial view.
