Project 4: Yin and Yang
Scientific images usually have a clear distinction between the object of interest and the background. Classical painting adopts a similar perspective between the foreground and the background. However, such distinctions are in a sense artificial, as they depend on where the viewer’s attention is accorded.

Project 3: The Sediments of Time
Life unfolds as a continuum of events in time. A single snapshot, be it a photo, a painting, or a sculpture, may capture a particular event vividly, but it is not straightforward to render a dynamic process in a single image. Both neuroscientists and artists have devised special techniques to crystalize a prolonged process into a single picture.
