The terrarium has evolved from its notable beginnings in botanical science to become a staple of modern interior design. It’s a craft primarily fixed within basic geometric guidelines, and I find an incredible freedom stepping away from those rooted expectations and into a world of irregularity.
I often find sculptural inspiration in natural forms and believe the container can be just as much a point of focus as the environment itself.

Well, i am a biologist and a botanic, and i do a lot of terrariums too . I would like to say that a lot of terrariums like these, the looks like if they are done just for the photo, because mosses needhumidified places, they will NEVER survive in a terrarium with only sand?!(for a few days or week, maybe).

You're correct moss needs a humid environment, which is why I only use moss in enclosed self-sustaining terrariums. Unless the moss is dried, then it's just used as decoration in an open container. But ya, it's all mostly for photos anyway, I wholesale the containers empty.

Very nice work. I like the multiple panes. They are delicate and look very functional. Good job!

Now reimagined to me would be condo-like. Maybe three levels, various (rooms) and an awesome imagination. :)
