Material Translation: Flower Study (Triptych) Three-panel investigation documenting how a single flower composition transforms through computational processing across the color temperature spectrum. For over 400 years, flower studies have been central to artistic practice. Dutch Golden Age painters used them to master oil technique. Van Gogh explored impasto and expressive color with sunflowers. Impressionists investigated light. O'Keeffe pushed toward abstraction. Monet and Cézanne returned to the same subjects repeatedly to explore systematic variation. This triptych continues that tradition in computational space. Part I: Temperature Contrast (Purple/Yellow) Investigates thermal opposition—warm against cool under computational stress. Part II: Warm Intensity (Pink/Magenta) Explores maximum saturation in warm palette territory with heavy system stress documentation. Part III: Cool Intensity (Blue/Cyan) Documents cool palette extremes with explicit translation mechanism revelation. The visible glitch artifacts and cellular fragmentation aren't hidden— they function as evidence of the creation process, similar to how brushstrokes or underpainting reveal process in traditional work. Using flowers as test subjects allows investigation of fundamental questions: can digital processes achieve genuine material properties equivalent to traditional impasto, color mixing, and atmospheric depth?
