Science is an Art and Art is a Science

When I came back to my senses, I have been mindlessly looking at my shampoo bottle. It was blue. Is that ocean blue? No some other kind of blue I guess. And next to it, there was my pink color fabric softener. Have these two colors always been this beautiful together? I wondered. Everyone knows that two colors blending well together could create a wonderful piece of art. So here in my bathroom, I am looking at a piece of art made by whoever kept these bottles next to each other. And then I suddenly remembered something I heard in my chemistry lecture in the morning.

The Lecturer pointed out a girl wearing a green shirt and said ‘your shirt is green because you absorb red color radiation‘.

I kept thinking… Well, this shampoo bottle absorbs radiation which creates a color which blends so well with the color made from the radiation absorbed by the fabric softener.  sounds so scientific right? So here, am I looking at a scientific art or is it artistic science? 

Every artist who mixes colors is a scientist who uses absorbance of visible light and all the scientists who create visible light spectrum is an artist while all the musicians who create wonderful music is a scientist who manipulates frequencies and a scientist who calculate frequencies is a musician.

If you have ever been told you are something and yet you wanted to be something else or something more, remember what I told you.

‘You can be a musician, you can be an artist, you can be a scientist or you can be all of it at once, the world cannot limit your potential. Only your skills do.’
