Concept

This image from the Zen City series blends the aesthetics of an electronic circuit board with the aerial view of a suburban cityscape. The large arc at the bottom resembles a satellite dish or a stadium dome, while the surrounding grid layout mimics both electronic pathways and organized urban blocks. Created with my Pixel Montage technique, this piece is constructed entirely from botanical photographs—leaves, petals, and organic textures—that form a fabricated yet strangely familiar landscape.

This visual duality invites viewers to see both a motherboard and a metropolis, highlighting how human-made systems reflect the same logic found in nature. Roads and circuits, houses and chips, fields and capacitors—all are part of interconnected networks that rely on flow, balance, and structure.

By fusing technological and geographic metaphors, this work emphasizes the fractal nature of our world: what appears mechanical from afar may reveal itself as organic up close. It encourages a rethinking of how we view cities, nature, and machines—not as separate entities, but as interrelated systems sharing a common visual and structural DNA.
