Juana Gómez Combines Physics, Anatomy and Art in Delicately Embroidered Self-Portraits.

Jesse Raubenheimer, The Art of Medicine, October 27, 2017

In her series of works known as ‘Constructal.’, Chilean artist Juana Gómez explores the relationship between the human body and the environment.

 

The portraits are inspired by Physicist Adrian Bejan’s constructal law of nature, which proposes that recurring designs arise in all living systems, and that these designs have a universal tendency to evolve in a certain direction over time.
