Intersections

A Public Art Exhibition

A colorful graphic of a mathematic diagram illustrating the concept of intersections. The word 'INTERSECTIONS' in orange and large font is overlaid across a Venn diagram with overlapping colored circles, each labeled with different letters.
Three men standing together in front of colorful abstract paintings. All three are smiling and dressed casually, with the man in the middle wearing a velvet blazer and glasses.

This piece celebrates ancient and modern humans’ fascination with the fundamental structure of space and time. Ever since we could use a stick or compass to draw circles, we have been inscribing tangent circles and have observed, exactly six circles of the same diameter can surround the first (totaling seven). This hexagonal arrangement of circles offered early humans a first glimpse at the structure of the universe, crystals, rocks, themselves (cells), etc. Architecture, religious symbols, science, biology, chemistry all benefit from this most basic geometric relationship.

Mathscaper has replaced circles with waves (sine function) emitting from where the centers of the circles would be, to further celebrate and move these ideas forward with the structure in resonance.
