That's the title of this piece at the HYBYCOZO exhibit at the Missouri Botanical Garden. The dictionary built into my Mac defines the word as an arrangement of shapes closely fitted together, especially of polygons in a repeated pattern without gaps or overlapping. It sits in front of the Climatron, a geodesic dome with such sophisticated air systems that it contains four different climate zones.

RIPPLES OF LIGHT
That's the title of this trio of objects in the botanical garden's reflecting pool at the HYBYCOZO exhibit. Can't wait to see it in the evening, lit from within, dancing across the water and lily pads.

BALANCE
I'm going to wander around the HYBYCOZO exhibit at the botanical garden for a bit. It's interesting and the garden is always worth a visit. This one is called Balance and it must have taken a fair amount of math to work out. All of the works have lights within them. The garden is open in the evening on weekends and we plan to go back for another look.

HYBYCOZO
Change of scene to another St. Louis institution. The gorgeous Missouri Botanical Garden often has outdoor exhibits of special sculpture or lighted seasonal displays. Through this summer and into next month there has been a show called Patterns In Nature - The Art of HYBYCOZO, https://www.hybycozo.com/. Its website doesn't explain the name. We waited for a cooler day to check it out. This piece at the entrance is called Escher. I can sort of see the step figures but not the up-down-left-right warping of the Dutch artist.

TWO-FER
A last image from Roman Art In the Time of Trajan at the St. Louis Art Museum. This is a creative view of busts of Trajan and Empress Pompeia Plotina, herself much respected.
