Kelp Forest by Lee Root

Isn’t it amazing that places like this exist? I would have never even imagined it. Truth is always stranger than fiction. 

This creeps me out. The ocean creeps me out. Just the idea of the sea is creepy in general. It’s deep, vast, nothingness. I don’t like the feeling of being exposed. You never know when a fish will swim towards you, or a shark, or a whale for that matter… I’ve asked this before; what is the opposite of claustrophobia? Because I might have a bit of whatever that is. It makes me insecure and anxious and paranoid. 

Yeah the kelp forest is cool though. That was completely irrelevant. yw.

paper marbling

fill a tray with water. blow, fan, stir, dab, and drag paint or colored ink across its surface. put a sheet of washi paper on top to stain it with the floating art.

though called “turkish” paper marbling by europeans, this design technique was developed in east asia, central asia, and the islamic world. it is an important part of turkic, tajik, indian, and other asian and middle eastern cultures.

I always wondered why no one makes a thousand photosets of these sorts of visuals from this movie.
