About Flora Ilustraĵo

Flaŭro estas fantazia ilustraĵo por reklami la kreemon kaj rakonton de la artisto, bildigante la floradon de gastrointestina mikrobiota fekundigita de la brulanta gastrika medio. La florado estas prezentita de petaloj de bakteriidoj, Bifidobacteriam, kaj Enterococcus, pistiloj de Lactobacillus kaj stamenoj de Enterococcus faecalis stariĝintaj sur tigoj de Escherichia coli. La floro mem ekaperas sur tigoj de Clostridium. Bacillus Cereus, longaj bastonformaj bakterioj en sia arthomitus-stadio kuniĝas per fibroj al la intesta epitelio, kreskas filamente kaj sporulate.

Unique Properties
Creating a visual pun on the idea that gastric flora might be blossoming flowers in the digestive tract, the artist set out to create a flower composed of the bacteria found in the gut.
Dimensions & Packaging
17.5" x 12", 350 dpi, tiff
Tags
medical illustration, biomedical artist, visual science, pharmaceutical advertising, biotechnology advertising
Production Technology
Created using Cinema 4D, a 3D modeling program, and Photoshop on a Mac.
Design Challenge
Creating a flower that both looked like a flower, but was also easily recognized as being constructed of recognizable bacteria required a creative balance between the two.
Research
The artist researched the common bacteria, called flora, of the gut. The artist studied electron micrographs depicting these different bacteria, and created 3D models of the different bacteria. The artist arranged the 3D-modeled bacteria to construct a flower, using different bacteria for different parts of the flower. The churning gastric juices and primordial environment of the gut comprises the environment from which the flower grows. The flower springs forth from the microvilli found in the lining of the small intestine.
Inspiration
The artist is a certified medical illustrator working in the advertising and marketing of the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. Self promotional work created for clients, and prospective clients, is a chance to promote the artist's creativity, artistry and storytelling skills in visual science.
Project Duration
The project was in development for three weeks at the artist's studio in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, USA.
Operation Flow
The illustration is meant to be enjoyable and memorable by playing on the pun of gastric flora.
