Kaleidoscope
each one of us
broken down
shattered shards
scattered
into nowhere
sometimes sharp
drawing blood
colorful and irritating
against skin
gathered together
reflective solid
transparent by turns
we bend the sun
shuffle spin
reorder return
shift design
mandalas in motion
repeated resonant
we change
we are
the same
we together

Art can illuminate even the most elusive and difficult to comprehend ideas. Visual rules and tightly codified visual metaphors help scientists communicate complex ideas mostly amongst themselves, but they can also become barriers to new ideas and insights. Dr. Regina Valluzzi’s images are abstracted and diverged from the typical rules and symbols of scientific illustration and visualization; they provide an accessible window into the world of science for both scientists and non-scientists.
