Picture
These collages are made up of pieces easily identifiable to the viewer as parts of human anatomy, but this familiarity is undermined by altering the scale, relationship, and arrangement of these elements. Like in the holistic viewpoint of the human body, the relationships and connections between the organs and miniature systems begin to take on more importance than the organs themselves.
