… Abbott spent several years in the late 1950s working at MIT, along with the renowned engineer and photographer Harold Edgerton. During this time, she constructed and photographed physical representations of many scientific phenomena, including gravity, electromagnetism, and waves. In this photograph, Abbott demonstrates properties of the refraction of light by shining beams of light through a piece of triangular glass. In the process, she has also created an interesting and dynamic composition, wherein the viewer’s eye follows the angles created by the central triangle and the lines of refracted light. Multiple Beams Of Light
