Matter - Transformations seen in crystallization

Exploring the way temperatures can change the shape of matter. A variety of salts are mixed into water, creating a supersaturated solution. First boiled, then poured over a glass plate where it begins to rapidly cool and evaporate. In this new and cooler environment, the solution begins to solidify, transforming into crystals. Using a variety of techniques such as slow-motion, macro cinematography, and timelapse photography shot over hours. Throughout weeks of experimenting, and teaming up with visual artist Emme Orbach who specialises in crystal work, we captured stunning vision and colours that visualize the formation of matter.
