These drawings mark the first phase of a series that delves into the relationship between the human body and the natural world. By deconstructing and intersecting the structures and layers of various components within these subjects, I seek to create original structures and abstractions that read as environments – locations to imagine traveling within.
The series is motivated by my interest in how the imagination in conjunction with basic knowledge visualizes the microscopic inner workings of anatomy. What is it like to move within these structures, to see and feel these spaces at such a minute level?
