Bubble Blocks

Dan Mirer

In my microfluidic systems, I offer the viewer a perspective into the world of bubbles at the edge of our human scale. Watching the laws of physics at work can be simultaneously beautiful and metaphorical. Patterns spontaneously emerge through self-organization, exemplifying how these forces shape the natural world on all scales, from an atom to a solar system.
