## About this style

A pixel-like grid becomes a field of tangible shell fragments. Chipped mineral edges and narrow shadows build the forms, while outer pieces thin out into nearly white paper.

This poster makes pixel units tangible through shell-like edges and small shadows, then disperses them toward the margin.

A dense building fading into isolated roof squares can open naturally into bare paper.

### How the style changes different subjects

- **Portrait**: Sampled color cells rebuild face and clothing, emphasizing hair and tonal regions over small features.

- **Landscape**: Adjacent cells preserve scenery through color differences and area size.

- **Object**: Color units simplify curves and reflections, favoring shape over literal material.

**Subjects**: Choose broad-color portraits, buildings, flowers, fruit or clear objects large enough to remain readable.

## Reusable style prompt

```text
Reconstruct every form from matte shell-like square fragments on a consistent grid. Retain tiny chips, natural mineral layers and shallow relief. Derive lively colors from the original palette, varying fragment density with the subject's structure and letting outer pieces disperse into near-white paper. Make each piece's thickness, cut edge and gentle shadow visible, preserving the overall contours and spatial relationships through clear block organization.
