Structures We Inherit

From conception to human form, life unfolds through acts of inheritance. Cells divide and structures emerge from what came before, carrying traces of ancestry while continually transforming into something new that will endure past the protection of the womb through the experiences that come with age and life. This series examines the interconnected histories of biology, heredity, architecture, and nature, exploring how forms persist across genrations through processes of growth adaptation and renewal.
Drawing upon architectural lineage, genetic inheritance, and the imagery of gestation, these works merge sacred structures with corporeal forms, creating visual collisions between stone and flesh, ornament and anatomy. Cathedral vaults echo rib cages, branching tracery recalls family trees, and flowing forms evoke the threads of DNA that bind generations together.
Within these sacred spaces, architecture becomes more than a built environment, it becomes a living archive in which history, memory, and inheritance are inscribed. By blurring the boundaries between the biological and the constructed, the series invites viewers to consider how we ultimately become part of an ongoing lineage where the origin of life and the continuity of form are continually shaped through inheritance.
