Discovering the Truth About Yourself, 2008

A birds eye view through a magnifying glass frames part of a birds skeleton that appears as a detail of a young man attempting to escape a nest.

Looking down through the magnifying glass it is possible to see the skeleton of a bird. This appears as if it were a detail of the inner organs of a young man, trying to escape a bird's nest. It is as though on closer inspection, this young man is part bird.

This image is part of a new series based on similar theme as my previous work. Here I want to document the process by which a scientist examines links between human and animal genes.
