The philosophy behind the concept was to make science and education more fun. The technic was chosen to familiarise the children with physic optic and the Northern light. In this project, I have tried to show the connection between natural sciences and human beings through the development of its civilization by merging the natural colours of Aurora in the background and using Persian architectural geometry, which is somehow my art signature.

As an artist, the historical transformation of science from natural to applied sciences is fascinating for me. Through this project, I have tried to make the children interested in natural science too. Printing on lenses is the technic that I have adopted from the advertisement industry and learned how to use it artistically and abstractly. I print different layers of my design on different lenses and merge them under a challenging process in this technique. Through this technic, I create an illusion of depth or appearing and disappearing images depending on different viewing angles.
