Collection of Wine Corks

You'll be assembling a close-up view of a tumbled pile of used wine corks. Most are cork-colored with varying degrees of staining and wear, but some show printed text and brandings like "DOMAINE" and "LUCIEN CROCHET." The lighting is soft and natural, highlighting the varied textures and the subtle variations in tone across the corks.

This one's a real test of your eye for subtle differences. The uniform, natural color palette of the corks means you'll need to rely heavily on texture and the faint markings to sort your pieces. The overlapping nature of the corks also creates a challenge, but finding those distinct letters or the edges of the cork heads will give you anchor points to build from. It’s a quiet challenge, for sure.
