Kaleidoscope

One of my childhood toys was a simple cardboard tube covered in bright colors, with mirrors and colored plastic fragments of various shapes and colors inside. I would rest an eye on one end, which looked like a telescope, and by rotating it I would see colorful symmetrical geometric figures formed by the union of the image of the fragments and those created by the reflections of the mirror. The same geometric figures I recreated in this image.
