A minimalistic illustration of an elegant mechanical sorting machine with clean geometric lines, featuring a series of interconnected brass funnels and crystalline filters arranged in a flowing cascade. Small colorful geometric shapes—cubes, spheres, and pyramids in muted jewel tones—flow through the transparent filters, some passing through unchanged, others transforming mid-stream into different shapes or colors, while a few dissolve into wisps of vapor. The background is a soft cream gradient with subtle grid lines suggesting order and precision. The composition emphasizes the graceful flow from chaos to organized output, with delicate shadow work and a limited palette of teal, amber, and soft coral against the neutral background.
