How were your illustrations used? :
Exhibition or installation, Print/poster or postcard

How did you make this work:
The four scientific posters explore how our bodies are entwined with the world around us. Together with scientists, I found familiar and surprising metaphors to explain molecular mechanisms. Comics and text around the core add nuance and story or point out limitations to our knowledge. Handpainted and a with a poetic tone, they focus on the human aspect rather than science as objective truth.
