莫斯科艺术家和模具爱好者Daria Fedorova干预自然分解过程，强调纹理和颜色，推动了科学和艺术的发展。这位艺术家名叫达莎·普莱森，他在培养皿里放上各种细菌和其他生物，然后在容器里放上绒毛球、糖和糖屑等额外元素。这些人造的添加物阻碍了生长物产生无数的阴影和结构，并在一个容器中培养出非自然饱和的颜色、成片的绒毛和张开的黏液卷的超凡成分。普莱森放弃了抗生素或其他可以挽救真菌和孢子免于毁灭的治疗方法，她的作品花了三到四周的时间才得以实现。
她告诉《Colossal》，这个正在进行的项目始于对我们周围环境的微生物制图的想法，她解释说：“我们都在微小孢子和有机体的海洋中游泳，吸入它们，将它们带在皮肤表层和体内。我对我们能看到和触摸到的物理世界和另一个物理世界之间的平行关系很感兴趣，另一个物理世界也呈现出来，但这是有点形而上的，看不见的，介于气层，振动，能量，自然之间。无论是展示堆叠的孢子，还是气泡的边缘，结果的研究都充满了关于人类强加、人工的、循环的过程，以及腐烂的内在美等问题。”在Behance和Instagram上探索更多普莱森的作品。

sed artist and mold enthusiast Daria Fedorova intervenes in natural decomposition processes, accentuating textures and colors and pushing the boundaries of science and art. The artist, who works as Dasha Plesen, laces petri dishes with various bacterias and other organisms before placing extra elements like fluffy balls, sugars, and sprinkles in the container. These manufactured additions impede the growths to produce myriad shades and structures and cultivate otherworldly compositions of unnaturally saturated colors, patches of fuzz, and flared coils of slime all within in a single vessel.Forgoing antibiotics or other treatments that would save the fungi and spores from ruin, Plesen’s works take between three and four weeks to materialize. She tells Colossal that the o
ngoing project began with “the idea of microbiological mapping of our surroundings,explaining:We are all swimming in the ocean of tiny spores and organisms, breathing them in, and carrying them on the top of our skin and inside the body. I was interested in this parallel between the physical world we can see and touch and also another physical world, which also presents, but is kind of me
