PRODUCT STORY
Julia says: This piece is a digital combination of many of my paintings inspired by scientific imagery. I combined the piece in Photoshop specifically for this contest, so this is an original digital work.

Many are interpretations of crystals, which are found in biological molecules and structures like DNA, enzymes and proteins. The crystals are grown and then photographed through a process called x-ray crystallography, which allows the scientist to discover the structure of these entities. I find these small crystals to be compositionally fascinating, and started a series of works to explore their forms more expressively. I wanted to give them more life and to feel less clinical. I used texture and loose brushstrokes and drawing materials to achieve this effect.

A lot can be said about such a complex design resulting in a simple response from us: awesome. Julia's scientific process has created something anyone can understand and enjoy.

We love that Julia's design is inspired by the building blocks of life. Would you liven up your iPhone with this colorful case?

The black design will be striking on a black phone. And it incorporates the colors of this season's fashions (pink/orange); love it!

I don't really see any specific connection to science imagery, the colors are dreamy and dynamic.
