The colours and shapes of this hand- and laser-cut paper piece, resembling a coral reef, are used here to construct an imagined representation of a bacterial colony. As a biodiverse, symbiotic habitat existing in harmony, the coral reef is a perfect metaphor for the human microbiome, which is the vast colony of bacterial organisms that live in and on our bodies.

The spiral is one of nature's most iconic structures and can be seen in different contexts at different levels of scale: seashells, hurricanes, galaxies. Here Rogan has imbued this humble material, paper, with powerful kinetic energy by mimicking this form. To do so, he cuts layered paper out by hand as well as with a laser cutter.
