Chromosome

Wood/ black paint/ printed pictures

In this piece, I wanted to represent how fragile and complex our body is built. Our body is composed of billions of cells and each cell has its own nucleus that stores DNA. DNA directs which proteins are needed to be synthesized and distributed throughout our body. Our DNA is a double stranded sugar molecules with phosphate backbone that are wrapped around histone cores. And the DNA and histone core complex make up a chromosome.

From this piece, I want people to learn to appreciate the fact that they were born normal. Everything in their body worked the way it suppose to. Lot of times, we take things granted and never think about how fortunate we are to have functioning eyes that enables us to see beautiful pictures, ten fingers that we use to build awesome arts and perfectly functioning brain to think and remember.
