Dash Rodgerz Fluorescent Resin Waterfall Diorama Sculpture

This tabletop sculpture by Dash Rodgerz measures approximately 15 to 20 cm in height, constructed from cast composite rockwork, synthetic flocking, and tinted epoxy resin depicting a cascading waterfall. A cast miniature frog figure rests on the right rock tier. The resin component incorporates UV-reactive phosphors or optical brighteners that fluoresce cyan and violet under 365 nm to 395 nm ultraviolet light.

A small green frog figure sits on the right side of the rocky waterfall.

    Miniature landscapes shifted from static museum models into interactive, reactive artisan display pieces using polymer chemistry.

Origins and context

Dating to the 2020s, this piece reflects contemporary artisan resin crafting techniques popularized across North American and European studio maker platforms between 2018 and 2026. The integration of phosphorescent and fluorescent pigments into clear-pour epoxy gained significant market presence in tabletop wargaming terrain and independent diorama art during this period.
