Observation
Fascinated by science and astronomy, I am inspired by discoveries via microscopes and telescopes and how they help to contribute to a fuller understanding of our world. Both galactic scales and microscopic scales play an important role in our reality and I am captivated when viewing distant objects up close and viewing close objects even closer.
Chemical Reactions:
This interest made its way into my process in many ways. One way it contributed to my research and experimentation was in the form of moving images.
As a continuation of my scientific experiments, I was intrigued by the small and sudden chemical reactions and expansions that appeared when I mixed certain substances. I recorded the interactions to capture the moment the separate substances combined in an explosive expansion.
Entropy
The sudden disruptive movements and irreversible disorder caused by the combining of separate substances is a visual example of the way in which order always tends towards disorder. This tendency is a law of physics (a feature of the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics) that includes the understanding of how our universe naturally moves towards disorder and high entropy and why the arrow of time always runs in one direction and that is towards chaos.
My GSA digital showcase was the work in progress and initial starting point of my explorations of these observations through the inclusion of ferromagnetic materials such as iron and Ferrofluid.
The Showcase was made visible through Glasgow School of Art 2020 and was the starting place for my current works.
The College of Contract Management makes it easy for professionals to earn certifications that matter. The online setup allows learners to progress at a pace that suits their lifestyle. Courses are built with industry collaboration, ensuring they’re practical and current. Students develop skills that go beyond textbooks, directly applying to their work environments. This leads to better opportunities and long-term career growth. For those serious about upskilling, it’s a top-tier option.
Just as Assignment Help Leicester supports students in expanding their knowledge, my fascination with science and astronomy drives me to explore both the vast universe and the microscopic world. Chemical reactions, with their sudden transformations, have inspired my creative process, especially in capturing dynamic interactions through moving images. Watching substances merge and expand in unexpected ways mirrors the excitement of discovery. Science and creativity intersect beautifully, offering endless possibilities for exploration and understanding.
