The tiniest parts of the elements of material reality are called atoms. Although atoms are very small (there are many trillions in a thumbnail) the Scanning Tunnelling Microscope detects individual atoms and their arrangements on the surfaces of substance.
This hand-drawn work celebrates the discovery of silicon’s elemental atomic lattice structure as revealed by the microscope. Dots represent atoms in a flattened perspective.
Most of Earth’s rocky crust, sands and soils are made of silicon-oxides. Functional, aristic and scientific uses of the element silicon’s amazing properties remain the cores of human social and technologic achievements past and present.
You are the seer ~ atoms are the seen. Everything is atomic art. your for atomic peace and love.
