Dichroic glass is special because it displays two different colors, depending on how the light hits it. Artist and sculptor Chris Woods takes advantage of this property, with some beautiful geometric sculptures made up of glass squares. These radiating sculptures take on entirely different colors and moods depending on how you view them.

Originally invented by scientists at NASA, dichroic glass is now more commonplace, being used on building facades, as well as art installations like this.
