Kaleidoscope


ke li´de sköp´

1. A tubuluar optical toy in which bits of colored glass are reflected by mirrors to display changing patterns.

2. A continually shifting pattern, scene, etc.

Take a peek through the hole and you'll find a world inside. Colored shapes with the adequate lighting; astonishing shadows in the dark. Flowers and figures, colors and shapes. Give it a spin and the scenery will change, it will never be the same again. The pieces move and fall into place once and all over again. You can almost hear the sounds of it. It may fall, it might break, the glass will crack. What will be left of your ruined toy? Changing images torturing you in colored paper.
