A black viscous fluid composed of oil, ink, and water oozes around the backlit equilateral triangle at the top of this kaleidoscope. Its movements and shapes are transformed by the mirrors into a slowly evolving rhythmic pattern that wraps the surface of a glowing geodesic planet. Light and dark shift as the fluid fills the aperture and spreads out again. The hypnotic patterns appear both geometric and organic. The ambiguous view could exist either on a macro- or microscopic level, providing us with the glimpse of a distant sun or the contents of a petri dish.
