Summary:
I
chose four words boy, girl, loves, hates to represent the DNA bases.
The interactions between the base pairs represent human relationships.
The strand on the left is the original DNA sequence. Various mutations
are added to the original sequence to form the right strand. The
complexity and diversity of the mutated strand resembles the effects
due to problems that occur in relationships. Relationships and DNA
are often twisted, random, and forever changing.
Special thanks to my Dad.

| Title:
Cell Culturing "Chia" Face |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
Summary:Tissue
engineering has generally been used as a medium for scientific advances;
however, a new gateway of tissue engineering use for artistic expression
has been introduced. Its breakthrough with science and art has influenced
my genetic artwork idea of culturing skin cells to develop an at-home-grown
face. The presentation of this project will be marketed as the Cell
Culturing "Chia" Face. The concept of the face is to grow
a layer of "perfect" skin in the form of a complete face
in which an individual can apply to her natural face. Its main purpose
of use is for facial enhancement to an individual's beauty preference.
Flawless complexion can be achieved by simply using the facial creation
to cover scars, burns, acne, wrinkles, or unevenness in color due
to sun exposure. In addition, the individual can culture her "face"
to include various changes to her original facial characteristics
such as adding dimples or changing the nose or overall face structure.
The Chia Face is a convenient alternative to ease the everyday worries
that people encounter in a society that places great importance
on physical appearances.
