Description:

This project is an exploration in the duality between the micro (string theory) and the macro (dark matter) — a duality that, while seemingly different, is inherently similar, fractal, reflective and mirrored. Through experiments using the OpenFrameworks platform, I made a series of creative visuals that may prompt us all to reflect on the beauty and unity in the microMARO-cosm.
