The Scutoid Series.

The Scutoid is about exploring, learning and finding the inherent beauty of fractal geometry in nature. Epithelial cells are our first defense against coronavirus, our first shield. They wrap every organ of the human body and they mesh together in a geometric shape of recent discovery: the scutoid. This unknown geometric form has lived with humanity, rather within us, while we were oblivious to its presence. I explore this wonderful new geometry, try to uncover the mysteries that were hidden from us about this fundamental part of who we are and what makes us human. I investigate the impossible planes of the scutoid, its unforeseen curvatures. I follow the turning flow of the movement they bring as they interweave. The scutoid is the mesh that holds the shield that protects us, a new reading on what we are made of. There is a high level of intimacy in the approach to this work, and great creative freedom, as no one had ever worked on them before.
