The interaction model (planting, watching growth) is engaging and metaphorically rich. While polish could be refined and some details improved, the core creative vision is strong and well-executed. This represents the kind of creative risk-taking that pushes visualization boundaries."

This represents the kind of exploratory work that pushes the boundaries of what data visualization can be. For a creative-focused project, this would be exemplary; for production, it would need optimization and accessibility improvements."
