3001, The air that I breathe, Karen Chappelow
ARTWORK ID: 3001
CATEGORY: Open Theme
ARTIST STATEMENT:
My painting is a journey highlighting the closeness we share with our natural environment. The interaction of humans with nature is called 'biophilic'. Having a natural affinity with plants, animals and water is also biophilic.
We share some similar cellular processes and functions. One of these is cellular respiration, which occurs within the Mitochondria. I have depicted the Mitochondria as a halo. The Mitochondria present in the cells of animals and plants are the cell's powerhouse. Its function is to produce ATP/energy through aerobic respiration.
These similarities in our micro biological processes and makeup highlight our natural affinity and connectivity with nature, as we are indeed part of it.
