Space Artistry in Bloom (author and artist Martin Naroznik)
Naroznik’s book and website, Spacebloom: A Field Guide to Cosmic Xflora, catalog dozens of imagined flowers, many of them several meters in diameter, which drift (or propel themselves) through the vacuum of space, reproducing and deriving their nourishment from particle clouds and stars.
Naroznik’s spaceblooms are the products of nanotechnology and biotechnology, originated by man and set loose into space, where they can survive for decades.
