The eye of the drosophila

The Eye of the Drosophila is a body of work that represents four years of my photographic research done on Drosophila, commonly kown as the friut fly. I have magnified the eye of the fly 50x times using a transmission electron microscope in order to extrapolate the details of all that is most basic and common to all living forms. The driving force of life, based on structure and organization evident at the cellular level is perpetuated in time and space and an innate part of what makes us who we are. It not only represents the common denominator of all living creatures, but also represents the way we function. The intentinal need to banalize the work to create a familiar ‘wallpaper’ effect is the stylistique liet-motif of the work.
