Artwork Commentary: 

Shapes resembling stages of the fetus’ development emerge from a pitch-black background. The abstraction of these biological letters tells us of future growth, beings that will live on this earth soon. Some may have faces that bear the features of a monster, and others that take elements of beauty and peace. An egg and sperm cross together, then a zygote, then an embryo. Some bring out a human or a mutant; maybe a scorpion or insect is born.
