Find a form in nature that intrigues you, and investigate the processes or forces that shaped it.
It may also be, as in animal locomotion, that the form has evolved to generate the force.
In either case, construct a visualization, or visual explanation that clearly and evocatively demonstrates the connection between force and form.

Nature, for this assignment, includes any aspect of the physical universe from galaxies to atoms, plants, rocks, fluids and the bodies or behavioral patterns of animals.
You should choose a topic that intrigues you on a visual level and also an intellectual level. Look for a visual connection between force and form, a way in which the relationship might be intuitively discernible, if not immediately understandable in its full complexity.
Your work on the project will clarify and particularize the relationship using available research, ideally using an evocative visual vocabulary to present the connection between force and form.
