Bacterial Ballet is a three-piece, multi-layered sculpture composed of 6 X 6-inch squares. The spacing between each glass layer represents 25 meters of ocean depth. It is a top-view structure that represents diverse bacteria at different depths during each season. Each piece represents one season, and the vibrant colors represent a single bacterial clade (Key 3). Subtle pattern differences and shifts in the bacterial clade at different depths of the glass column represent the influence of seasons on bacterial communities in the ocean as a response to changing environments. This piece highlights the shifts in bacterial composition at different depths which creates their “dance” in the ocean.
