DAD

This project aims to present an alternative portrayal of my family members. The final outcome takes its form through the microbes cultivated in petri dishes where the sample was taken from my family’s fingertips. As a high school student I was overwhelmed by the life created in petri dishes during Biology class. Consequently, I decided to conduct by myself a microbial culture and shoot macro-photos. Amongst them, the most distinctive sample was the one of my pet iguana which I consider as an equal member of my family.

The title chosen for this project is “Aurum” which is the Latin word for “gold”. Gold’s connection with change, equivalent exchange and evolution is stemming from alchemic theories, where alchemists were dedicated to turn every material into gold, therefore to find the elixir of life.
