Hidden Beauty
Modular installation that presents 30 captivating examples of patterns originating from our natural world. When we focus our full attention on natural objects, perhaps using magnification, the hidden beauty of nature is realized. The inherent patterns of natural objects represent a highly variable set of structures, that at the same time have startling similarities across classes of patterns. These exquisite structural patterns have been optimized over millennia of evolution, reflecting an order and refined beauty in harmony with the nature of the Universe.
Inspired by the Chinese concept of Li, which refers to the natural patterns of the universe that we are continually forming and re-forming around us. These are both fixed and dynamic patterns, patterns within patterns, and patterns in time as well as patterns in space, along with patterns that we create in our own minds through our unique perceptions of these external patterns.
