statement
Dante Alighieri once wrote that “Art, as far as it has the ability, follows nature, as a pupil imitates his master, so that art must be, as it were, a descendent of God.” However, my own endeavor has never been to aspire to godly loftiness, invent a new way of seeing, or imagine something anew; I just re-conceptualize my understanding of a given subject’s structure, and apply its logic to what I can readily observe—whether it’s the logic of how a virus travels along the nerves at the base of the human spine, or how Dante described the creatures before him in his Inferno. The process is akin to looking through a microscope and magnifying an object’s visual presence until its significance changes in proportion to its perceived size and structure.
