The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world's largest and most powerful particle accelerator. Located at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) near Geneva, Switzerland, it is a complex scientific instrument designed to study the fundamental particles and forces that make up the universe. This has been a great source of inspiration for me in my artistic quest to make the hidden forces of nature visible in a work of art in a meditative sense.
