Description: The work investigates the notion of identity and existence. Through this project, I document the reality that is hidden from our eyes due to our biological setup. I have presented microscopic life forms collected from my surroundings, including details from plants, flowers, insects and human body. A total of 108 slides have been presented.
The work generates an experience of wonder, which indirectly makes the spectator more humane and conscious of hiss every action. As a whole I intend to generate a feeling of being alive in the time of capitalism and virtual realty.
