Beauty is Physics’ Secret Weapon
Nautilus Magazine

A busy illustration I made for an interview with physicist/philosopher Frank Wilczek. The interview goes into many fascinating topics, from string theory to Greek philosophy to what birds think of the internet. The central theme, though, is that our instinctual understanding of visual beauty is a way to better understand the aspects of the universe and laws of physics we can’t visualize. For the image I decided to portray a kaleidoscopic collage of nature. The animals featured are the Goliath Beetle and the Weaver Bird.
