Eye of the Beholder

Japanese designer and artist Tokujin Yoshioka presented his solo exhibition appropriately titled Crystallize at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo in 2013. The exhibit included beautiful crystals that Yoshioka grew in a transparent pool filled with a special liquid, allowing the crystals to grow freely. Yoshioka would play music while the minerals were assuming their shapes, intending to emulate the energy of the music through the forms of the crystals.
