Refractions

The phenomenon of dispersion, wherein light of varying wavelengths diverges by distinct degrees during refraction, culminates in the separation of white light into its constituent colors — red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet — each manifesting a nuanced angle of refraction.

Suter explores how light bends when passing through denser mediums at oblique angles. Using microscope cameras and optical glass, she captures these ethereal light phenomena at microscopic scale. Her artistic journey began with an intention to orchestrate diverse arrays of rainbows and light dispersion phenomena, creating microcosmic documentation of these natural spectacles.
