Large-sized carpets belonging to their new collection called Chromosome P. The images might recall planets, galaxies or asteroids, but they reproduce lab plates used for cytogenetic exams, that is the chromosomal map of cells. “What looks like an unknown cosmos with planets, galaxies, stars and far-away nebulae is an image of ourselves: the basic information programming our physical life.”
