Composition of the Body and Its Surroundings, 2024


This piece is based on an illustration of the atomic/molecular ingredients of a man and his environment I found in an old science textbook from the 1950's or 60's. Making this new version now, decades later, I couldn't help but imagine the atoms and molecules of the source image forming into chains of DNA, or maybe some sort of postbiolgical information - turning the body "posthuman" and "postgender".
