Milk Mirage – Fall 2023 Get Wet – Sierra Greeley

This photo was taken on a Canon EOS 5D camera. The experiment was done using whole milk, food coloring, and dish soap. The dish soap separates the milk into water and fats allowing for the soap molecules to attach to the fat molecules. The connection between the soap and fat molecules along with the repulsion between the soap and water molecules pushes around the food coloring creating these chromatic spirals.
