This piece aims to celebrate the beauty of contemporary representations of (human) genomes, yet at the same time to query their resonance among, or friendliness towards, non-expert publics. It also intends to pose a question regarding the portrayal of variability and/or uniqueness in scientific inscriptions of the genome. The work was inspired by images of genomes available from the web, as well as by representations of nature at both the supra and subcellular levels. Mixed media (Indian ink and sequins on paper).  43
