How quickly would the atmosphere rebound from centuries of fossil fuel emissions?” He took Matt Logue’s still photography concept and applies it to what he does best: time lapse! And the result is pretty impressive! See yourself below…

Industrial design student Andrew Kim created this very cool concept of  some square Coke Bottles.
