Organs of Extreme Perfection, - 2009

The photograph is created by millions of single-celled, aquatic organisms as they carryout photosynthesis. When photographic negatives are placed in front of the organisms, they move towards the varying degrees of light and form eerie, temporary images. They seek out the light they need for photosynthesis and leave behind a haunting trace of this life-giving process.
