Milk


I wanted to try to understand the connection between the workings inside the body and the outside world. I am investigating an important molecule in breast milk. It forms a major part of the bonding between mother and child, but it is also ‘just’ a cluster of atoms.

Lactose model







Child + lactose molecule. An attempt to understand the reality of this molecule existing in the context of human relationships (mother - child)
 

Lactose in aluminium




 
 
Breast molecule - like a blastocyst



Breast enhancements; if human culture thought milk was the main function of breasts





This is the start of a study of symmetries which was born out of this project
 


Bonds of life (carbon-hydrogen, carbon-oxygen and oxygen-hydrogen), relative van der Waal radius and bond lengths. These are the main atomic bonds in organic beings, humans too of course.
