Yunfan Tan’s ‘A Collection of Dancing Leaves’

And now, a brief interlude before Garden Blogger’s Fling: Part 2.

Yunfan Tan is a young artist and designer from Shanghai, China, who’s experimented with everything from product design to illustration to animation. Below are a series of .gifs he created entitled ‘A Collection of Dancing Leaves.’ The way Tan captures the slow process of dessication, it’s easy to ascribe deep meanings about life and death to these images. But with titles like Waltz, Boom and Octopus, I think the artist might have envisioned a more lighthearted interpretation.
