Shadow Art by Teodosio Sectio Aurea

In 2013, Teodosio Sectio Aurea created an enigmatic, DNA type puzzle, consisting of 350 small, metallic balls. The end result appears to be a colorful jumble of balls arranged in an odd formation.

But when this design is lit from the correct angle by a light source, a shadow of Leonardo Da Vinci’s famous sketch from the 15th century is revealed on the wall. This design is often used as an implied symbol of the symmetry of the human body, and more extensively, of the universe itself as a whole.
