ESSENCE OF LIFE

Essence of Life suite looks at life on the molecular level through abstract interpretations of micro organisms photographed under an electron scanning microscope. Each image symbolizes life’s unstoppable evolutionary determination to survive no matter the environmental conditions. The images depict a petri dish of reproducing and growing cells, the essence of life. Bacteria and viruses are the hardiest organisms with some such as Tardigrades able to live in the heat, cold and vacuum of space.

These images depict vanishing breathable air, in an uninhabitable landscape, illustrating our fleeting life support system. They are a reminder of the necessity to respect and preserve the environmental qualities that enable future generations.
