Made one by one, bubbles are near-perfect spheres, but when several bubbles come together they take on polyhedron shapes. They rearrange themselves into many-sided clusters with regular internal structures and consistent angles. Norah has created a spherical hat constructed of pentagons and rectangles, using a yarn with subtle sparkle to evoke the shimmering surface of a soap bubble.
