Sea Bones project

The triptych is part of the project Sea Bones by Caterina Morigi.

«Biomedical researchers are studying the exoskeletons of marine beings, shells, sea urchin quills, cuttlefish, to remake the parts of missing human bones. The compatibility of these apparently different elements shows that there is actually a substantial relationship between man and nature. Our skeleton is composed of calcium phosphate. Marble and shells of calcium carbonate, a very similar and transformable substance. The same material is at the base of life of the first organisms existed on earth, the mineral was strewn in a primordial soup that also initiate the organic sphere.

The project merges the micro and the macro of matter through photography, overlapping the various layers of reality in a possible new alliance. Interchangeable with each other, the photographs exploit the transparent support, revealing this matter compatibility also through the gaze and favoring with the translucent material a multitude of different palpable or imaginary images.»
