is an ongoing project that pays tribute to the mesmerizing natural architecture of braided rivers. It seeks to capture the intrinsic beauty and dynamism of these natural formations, emphasizing the symbiotic relationship between sand and water. The project aims to stir the viewer's curiosity and appreciation for these organic patterns that grow from the intertwining of these simple elements.

Inspiration and Concept
This project is inspired by the delicate and intricate patterns of braided rivers seen from an aerial perspective and in ØNElab, where we study the complex dynamics of braided rivers in a controlled laboratory setting. Website link will be published soon. 

Techniques and Tools
The Braided Rivers project employs a mix of photography, laboratory models and editing techniques to represent the distinct features of braided rivers. Using tools such as digital photography, drone for capturing aerial images, Luminar Neo and Photoshop for color grading and image manipulation, the project aspires to reproduce the surreal beauty of these landscapes with high fidelity.

Progress and Next Steps
The project is in its preliminary stages, with a few initial phases completed and several more planned! The next steps involve expanding the scope of rivers under study, capturing a wider range of patterns, and translating these into detailed pieces of art.
