  • Why did you create this work?
    Idea started with a question. Who a scientist is? I believe scientists are very similar to crime scene investigators. An investigator would look for evidences in order to find the criminal. Researcher carry out the exact same task but in a world that is microscopic (cell). Fingerprints are best to describe investigation scene hence I wanted to imagine what a cell would look inside a fringerprint.
  • How were your illustrations used?
    This illustration was used on the T-shirt of a biological research institute in India. The t-shirt illustration also had a magnifying glass surrounding and focusing the cellular fingerprint, depicting scientific investigation.
  • What materials and techniques did you use?
    I used Procreate to create this illustration.
  • Was this project commissioned?
    Un-commissioned
