 
Combining her love and knowledge of astronomy, mathematics, and art, Marika Berlind’s work features captivating interpretations of scientific concepts, revealing their visual, theoretical, and philosophical implications. “I wish to provide an alternate means by which to explore science, through a momentary visual experience of ‘living in the universe’”. She is interested in issues of ‘vastness’, ‘the infinite’, ‘chaos’, ‘multidimensionality’, ‘parallel spaces’, and the ‘relative role of Earth within the universe’. She hopes to open a door for the questioning of our role as observers in our formation of scientific ‘truth’.
Her recent body of work titled Another Universe covers four themes: ‘Strings’(multi-dimensional energy units); ‘Holes’(time-distorting space regions), ‘Scapes’(imaginary scapes between here and elsewhere) and ‘Folds’(entangled layers of space). The work features a wonderful sense of light, color, motion and concept, as she constantly challenges the viewer to go beyond their normal limits of perception. Berlind received her BA from Princeton and her MFA from Rhode Island School of Design and is now located in San Francisco, California.
