Six identical glass plate hologram set in a horizontal line within gray matting and a black frame; each hologram shows a dark, abstract, swirling pattern; when hit by light, a portion of each hologram produces a rainbow-colored diffraction grating pattern; as viewer moves to left or right, colored pattern seems to jump from hologram to hologram.
