MICROBE is a provocative and visually arresting sculpture that explores the complex and often destructive relationship between humanity and the microscopic world of bacteria and pathogens. The artwork features an intricate assemblage of illuminated tubes, wires, and transparent conduits, evoking the inner workings of a living organism. The glowing, pulsating light within the structure represents the vitality and persistence of microbes, an ever-active force capable of both sustaining and devastating life. In MICROBE, the viewer is left to confront the silent yet immense power of bacteria and viruses, whose influence is both terrifying and awe-inspiring—a humbling testament to the intricate web of life and its precarious equilibrium.
