The Pearl sculpture by BREAKFAST (see more here) simulates various natural phenomena such as rolling waves, gentle breezes, shooting stars, and the dynamic ocean surface. Drawing its inspiration from the tranquility and unpredictability of the sea, each tile is meticulously arranged in a Fibonacci sequence, echoing patterns found in marine life. But what truly sets The Pearl apart is its interactive nature; its movements are influenced by real-time tidal and wind data from the Caribbean. This feature allows it to continuously transform, reflecting the current environmental conditions in an ever-evolving display of calmness or intensity.

A stunning matte painting of a futuristic cyberpunk cruise liner, set against a sprawling metropolis. The ship is a marvel of engineering, with sleek, sharp lines and a metallic exterior. The surrounding cityscape is a labyrinth of towering skyscrapers, interconnected walkways, and pulsating neon signs. The attention to detail is extraordinary, with each building and structure showcasing intricate textures and vibrant colors. The composition is dynamic, with the ship positioned diagonally across the frame, creating a sense of movement and energy. The overall color palette is dominated by cool blues and deep purples, with pops of bright neon lights adding a futuristic touch. Shot with a Canon L Series 24-70mm lens, ISO 400, f4, 1125s.

shows a large white pearl on a black background, with a red and black ladybug walking across its surface. The scene is minimalist and abstract, since there is no other element to distract attention. The pearl and the ladybug contrast with each other in shape, color and size, creating an interesting visual effect
