The magnification process reveals unseen and alternative layers of meaning and promotes reflection on environmental change, human/non-human understanding, and stem-cell differentiation.

Finally, constructed landscapes question our understanding of truth, and cabinets of curiosity allow the viewer to ponder war-torn realities. Ideas of truth and ignorance, and environmental and societal consequences are delivered through a metamorphosis of the works.
