IMAGE DESCRIPTION : Just a ball in a box... But, at first, I had a certain surprise to discover that this image seems to evoke a kind of attack or rebellion (it was a little strange that those elementary forms could give this feeling). Subsequently, I decided to accentuate this impression : many little old wrinkle plastic cubes locking up gradually a generous radiant pompous and arrogant sphere. At the end, I understood that this image refer to an other old image I saw when I was young, the image of the final stage of an old film : "Freaks".

HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED : 
- 3 declared objects : Superquadric cube, Sphere, Cylindre.
- an intensive use of loops to generate the repetitive objects.
- some random numbers (color and distribution).
- And some others parameters to make many tests : the number of cubes, the ratio between cubes and hole, the density of the distribution, the relative dimensions of the objects...
