As modern science allows us to manipulate the natural world more and more, our ideas about the nature of life evolve. By creating images that combine scientific illustrations with my own imagined visual accounts of the natural world, I present an invented “scientific” view of the world, as fantastical as the reality: teeming with cells, microscopic life forms, and the millions of structures that make up the inside of the body. Through my work, I hope to pose the following questions: Has science brought us closer to understanding the nature of life? Is it possible to glimpse the soul through the physical? Is science the new religion?
