Challenge: Flowers – Blooming in the Metaverse (video)

In the early Metaverse, a glitch allowed a peony to bloom, but the low-poly avatars passing by couldn't appreciate its extra dimensions, infinite polygons, and lifelike beauty. The flower's vibrant colors and delicate movements stood in stark contrast to their angular design and jerky motion. Despite their limitations, the presence of the peony sparked a sense of wonder and curiosity in the avatars. As the flower withered away, the simple denizens were left with a longing for something more, a desire to experience the real and complex world outside of their limited existence. Its transient beauty served as a reminder that even in a simulated reality, nature could still inspire a sense of awe and wonder.
