This image from the Zen City series depicts a highly ordered composition that mimics a digital display or numeric indicator on an electronic device. At a glance, the segmented patterns resemble LED or LCD digits, as if the board were actively communicating encoded information. Created using my Pixel Montage technique, this artwork is constructed entirely from botanical photographs—leaves, flowers, grasses, and stems—painstakingly arranged into a system of green-tinted symmetry and modular repetition.
The juxtaposition of natural textures and technological structure invites reflection on the evolving boundaries between organic life and machine logic. The top row of square formations evokes alphanumeric characters, while the overall layout mirrors that of a calculator, meter, or diagnostic readout—tools used to measure, regulate, and translate information.
By visually substituting organic material for synthetic parts, this piece suggests a poetic reinterpretation of how information systems might exist in nature. It challenges the viewer to imagine ecosystems as living networks of encoded signals—measurable not just through science, but also through perception and experience.
