Cell Division

In progression to the concept of Cytokinesis, “Cell Division” expands exponentially in scale. These large scale works showcase two perspectives of a microscopic view of cells where one is of the original conglomerate of cells and is made up of thousands of dots meticulously hand-painted onto a canvas. The other, comprised of Shwe-Shwe fabric that has been cut into circular shapes and placed in a collage, represents a closer, ‘zoomed in’ perspective of the original cells created through paint in the first work. The artist found inspiration from Erwin Schrodinger’s What Is Life, 1994, Nirasawa has manifested a visual experience of Schrodinger’s concept “order-within-disorder” which communicates the chaotic nature of the biological process resulting in harmonized constructed organism in perpetual dynamism.
