While some stones take millions of years to materialise its little known that others magically take shape in just days. Opaque to translucent and refractive, beauty comes in many guises and evolution has many paths. The Rough Diamonds 3D short was devised to challenge perceptions of beauty and question if the earthy forms are as powerful as a final cut gems we use to adorn ourselves. We speed up compression over time and the formation of precious stones in a cataclysmic event closer to the birth of a star, opposing ends in scale, both sparkle and brighten our world. Take the rough and the smooth.
