Created in 2020, this project uses the polarization of light to create stunning portraits of three scientists: Pupa Gilbert, Elizabeth Wright, and Filiz Yesilkoy. All three are professors at the University of Wisconsin - Madison who use light and polarization in their research. The medium of these portraits - polarizers and cellophane - only reveals the vibrant colors when viewed through a polarizer film. These were first virtually exhibited at the 2020 Wisconsin Science Festival on video, which you can view here.
