Insomnia
Unable to sleep, I sat in a dimly lit room and made this on a piece of A4 printer paper. I couldn’t tell what colors I was using in the dark.

I was taking a course in 2015 on the philosophy of personal identity as it relates to scientific progress. Gestalt psychology, to me, seemed like a step in the right direction. When individuals are considered as loose assemblages of distinct pieces, which science so often needs to do for ease of representation, the individual is lost.

While working in a computational physics lab, I was studying the material molybdenum disulfide. Encountering concepts from crystallography left me with a sense of cosmic wonder.
