In the Light of Growth is a light sculpture that displays a recently discovered transition between disordered and proportionate fluid growth patterns. While disorder is predominant in the non-living world, proportionate growth is an essential feature in the morphogenesis of multicellular organisms. The installation highlights a physical mechanism that can impart life-like properties to a simple fluid in motion.
