Colossal covered Roman De Giuli’s art project, ‘A Sense of Scale’, which gives the impression of aerial views of mystical lands and oceans:
Look a little closer, however, and you will find these effervescent terrains are composed of paint, powders, and water that the artist applies with droppers to the surface of paper and sets into motion with small doses of air.

It’s amazing how you can make such expansive worlds with the smallest of ingredients.
