Honorable Mention - Water Farm, Yuehan Yao

Image: 

Water vapor condenses into droplets when it encounters a cold surface. The surface was made to be a wavy pattern like a tilled farm. Droplets condensed on the surface are just like crops growing on the furrows. The droplet at the center of the image, which is analogous to a premature strawberry, was dyed red for visualizing its growth dynamics.
