Micro Matter: Vertical Dwellings Inside Glass Test Tubes by Rosa de Jong
For her series Micro Matter, Amsterdam-based designer and art director Rosa de Jong (previously) created towering houses and tall buildings inside the narrow confines of large glass test tubes. Perhaps comparable to a ship in bottle, the little houses and buildings are all handmade using natural objects and some model making elements like faux moss. Some pieces even play with gravity and appear to grow both upward and downward, reminding me of paintings by Cinta Vidal or sculptures by Thomas Doyle. See more over on Behance.
