Throughout history, human beings have tried to control nature by means of reason. This eventually led to the development of different sciences, yet humans are still unable to tame all of nature’s mighty forces. In this piece, I explore nature and mathematics, and how they are linked by geometry. I delve into the eminently visual and spatial quality of this way of understanding reality: via observation, geometry takes humans’ most abstract ideas and renders them as intuitive, graphic forms which are more readily comprehensible.
