A cabinet of curiosities, accidentally discovered somewhere between the microscope and the imagination.

The forms reminded me of cilia, villi, trachea, tadpoles, egg yolks, cells and seeds.
It brought me to the idea of a Wunderkammer:  A cabinet of curiosities where strange and beautiful things were collected simply because they were worth looking at. Perhaps that’s how my mind works too: I collect fragments from biology, books, nature and memory without insisting that they belong together.
A little anatomy,

A little botany,

A little imagination,

And a generous amount of nonsense.

Perhaps curiosity itself is a collection of things we don’t understand yet, but are unwilling to stop looking at.
