Layered Topographic Color Lines

Raised paper contours fold across the scene like a handmade terrain map. Coral and ochre hills rise at opposite corners, while teal ridges fall toward blue channels through the center. Cream layers catch the light along the edges, giving every slope a visible step instead of a flat printed line.

Every contour has a lit lip and a shaded edge. Together they show whether a strip of color belongs on a raised ridge or inside a hollow. The blue channel gives the center a different shape from the rounded hills around it. Green pieces become more demanding where several slopes meet, so the tiny shadows between paper layers are often more useful than the shade of green alone.
