The subject is rebuilt entirely from things that are not its own material: other objects, foods, plants, creatures or textures, chosen per image, such as fruit, flowers, cutlery, toys, machine parts, stones, shells or fabric. Each piece stays readable as what it is up close, while the subject's silhouette, proportions and pose read clearly at a distance. Works for any subject: people, animals, objects, vehicles, food or buildings. Faces keep true structure; eyes are one fitting round piece with a natural highlight; hair, fur and feathers are repeated small pieces following the direction of growth. Soft studio key light. The subject alone on a clean ground. No logos or lettering. Painted river rocks sit in garden soil as a flag with red striped stones, white stones and a blue canton stone cluster with star dots. Herbs frame the bed and a toad claims the white stripe. No lettering.
Light: bright garden morning; palette of stone red, herb green and soil brown; quirky, fresh, small.
Square 1:1 frame, centred composition with breathing room on all sides. The standard flag shows exactly thirteen horizontal stripes starting and ending with red and a blue canton with star rows in the upper hoist corner; any interpretive flag stays recognisable and is never torn, burned, defaced or on the ground. No readable text, lettering, slogans or logos anywhere; any people are fictional fully clothed adults with clearly adult proportions and faces.
