      <image:caption>Acrylic paint on acrylic resin panel 18 x 25 x 3/8 inches / 46 x 63.5 x 1 cm 2016 Copyright © Maya Simmons   About the Vibration series As stated by Albert Einstein “Everything in life is vibration” and this includes sound and our thoughts. Solidity does not exist and everything in the material world is composed of atoms that vibrate at different frequencies which gives the appearance that something is solid, liquid, or gas. The Vibration series focuses on how everything you see and touch vibrates, but not to the naked eye.  Even these paintings when viewed under a microscope would present movement and vibration.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Acrylic paint on acrylic resin panel 18 x 24 x 3/8 inches / 46 x 61 x 1 cm 2010 Copyright © Maya Simmons   About the Prism series The dispersion of white light through a prism exposes different wavelengths that the human eye sees as different colors. The beauty of color is that it is open to the interpretation of the viewer and how each individual experiences color. There are colors that the human eye is not able to see. Furthermore, if you juxtapose two or more colors, it is interesting to observe how it changes our perception of one particular color since it is influenced by surrounding colors.  I am always surprised to see how my paintings are transformed once I apply the third and final color as the result can be unpredictable.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Acrylic on wooden panel 18 x 24 x 1.5 inches / 46 x 61 x 4 cm 2009 Copyright © Maya Simmons   About the Infinity series The word infinity is symbolized by the number 8 positioned horizontally ∞. This particular series asks the question whether or not human beings are here for eternity or if we will one day become extinct like some species of animals. If that is the case, is there a species that will replace humans?  We are made of energy and energy never dies. Therefore, I ask myself if we are immortal beings that will go on living forever in one form or another?</image:caption>

However, we all know that its solid appearance is all an illusion. In fact, it’s composed of zillions of atoms just like everything else. Take sound as another example.
