Artist: Naglaa Walker

London-based artist Naglaa Walker originally trained as a physicist and worked as a Nuclear Particle Researcher. For six years following that, she was a Market Trader in the City of London before completing an MA in photography.

Walker draws on her physics background, using photography and video to enable the viewer to make connections between the abstraction of physical laws and the reality of experience.

Attraction: Coulomb’s Law. Classical attraction between two bodies increases as the distance between them diminishes.
Chaos.The apparently chaotic behaviour of a well ordered system exponentially increases with time
Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle. It is impossible to simultaneously know both the position and momentum of a quantum object.
Phase Transition: Clapeyron’s Equation. When a molecule undergoes a reversible phase change, there will be no limit to the cohabitation, provided the pressure and temperature remain constant.
Special Relativity: Relativistic Doppler Effect. Two observers of a light-wave may experience events differently depending on their frame of reference.
Surface tension. The surface tension exerted on a solid or liquid increases with the number of interactions it must deal with
