Sci Art

Included are artworks that have been inspired by Science. Made in Adobe Illustrator and Blender 3D, these pieces are an attempt to bridge the gap between Art and Science

The Identity of a Genetic Disorder

Each of one's features come from nothing but a genetic code. In this piece of art, a person is looking at their own gene sequence (random sequence used for artistic purposes only) through a mirror made of DNA. They see a genetic mutation in the nucleotides highlighted in red, which leads to a genetic disorder that is also a part of their identity. The said person is looking directly in the eye of the nucleotides, which are bold red and scream danger. Are those four nucleotides the person's identity?

Inspired by an extract from The Gene: An Intimate History by Siddhartha Mukherjee
