Cubic Bubbles

Joseph Plateau (1801 – 1883) was the first scientist to describe the structures that soap bubbles can take when rigid frameworks of various shapes are used in the process.

With this project I explore exactly that phenomenon using non-spherical frameworks to shape soap film into bubbles.

A point for reflection: Could our lives take completely different ‘shapes’ if they were organised using different frameworks?
