Plato believed that because all objects are three-dimensional that the atoms combined to make these objects must be in the shape of regular polyhedrons. Later is was determined there where only five regular polyhedrons, The Platonic Solids. Plato thought that all things were made of the five elements. Fire. Earth. Air. Water. Cosmos. and therefore they should be represented by one of the five Platonic Solids.
I recreated these shapes out of Plexiglass, and photographed the Polyhedron with its specific element as a way to physically represent these ideas, and show similarities of the elements and their Platonic Solid.
