Blueprint of a Horizon

[2024] Blending archival microscopy images with cellular-level illustrations from current research, this cyanotype mural captures MD Anderson’s achievements while looking to the breakthroughs on the horizon. Drawing visual cues from its surrounding architecture, the mural reinterprets cellular imagery to reveal a beautiful visual landscape, capturing both the precision and creativity inherent in scientific research. 

Commissioned by Davis Cohen Art on behalf of MD Anderson
