Kaleidoscopes

One way to deconstruct a perfect surface is dividing it by its axis into symmetrical sections. As a child, I was amazed (and still am) by looking into a kaleidoscope and turning it round to see the endless options of patterns, colors, and shapes. For this series, I used a principle shape, split it, repeated the pattern, and added gradients to form new impressions from the colors. With organic shapes, I naturally found its opposite of inorganic ones, which can be found in rock crystals. It is just a simple rule of geometry; at the beginning one shape takes form and by adding and moving elements you get new compositions. It is fascinating that these patterns develop innately and naturally in nature.
