Simon Christen grew up in Bern, Switzerland. He is currently an animator at Pixar.
"As humans we have the urge to design everything. Once something becomes forgotten and nature starts claiming it back, a very interesting mix of human design and decay happens. I am fascinated by this mix of intricate shapes, unique patterns and colors."
