When Doubt Turns Into Destiny: Broken Square Neon


Show gallery or Scroll for more

The rows of neon tubes of Broken Square Neon once formed a square. The bottom rows are broken, and shards of glass have been added to the remaining tubes. You can observe the light moving restlessly in the centre of the tubes. What you see is the physical reaction of two materials – gas and glass – interacting. What you see is the echo of the square in the rectangle.
