When we ignore the fact that humanity slowly destroying the planet and probably will be left to rot. Earth is a magnificent place to live. Just step away from the screen for a moment and look outside. I can’t know the environment around you but look! Admiring the trees, soft breeze, fluffy clouds… Maybe a mountain standing still far far away or hearing a nearby river’s stream. I hope you can observe these rather than a traffic jam or construction noise. Because there’s a lot of things in nature that need to be appreciated. Chinese designer Particle (Gao Yang) digitally created a three-part series about rivers and mountains just influenced by observing the great plains, forms, and greens of China.

It’s really hard to find some information about Particle (Gao Yang) on Western social media sites. However, he obtained his college in civil engineering and then pivoted to design. He found inspiration in nature and landscapes to create series of 3D-generated alterations about them. He purposefully stood away from hyper-realism and tried to emulate the reality with low definition, lots of noise, and full of uncertainty. And the results are just fascinating.

Mountains & Rivers series spans over 2 years and they portray the development of Particle (Gao Yang)’s artistic journey as well. You can check his Behance and Vimeo profile with the attached links as well!
