“This work revolves around the common misconception of radioactivity, mostly initiated by the dreadful incidents of the past century. Far from a political statement on nuclear benefits or dangers, it is an educational approach through illustration, mimicking the style of Victorian era etchings and anatomical charts.
I chose to rely on a relatable and approachable perspective instead of a truly scientifically-driven one so as to engage easily with a potential unaware viewer.
More than anything else, radioactivity is a physical phenomenon, whose radiation threat depends on various parameters. It is surrounding us in ways that we ignore, but learning about them might mitigate the fear we nurture as a society through ignorance and hoaxes.”
