Cardiac Wave
Plant fibers, framed with maple wood and museum glas, 51,5cm x 85cm 

Exhibition Musculo-vegetal at Boox.space Haarlem

The work is a microscopic translation of the cardiac muscle which makes up de thick middle layer of the heart. 

Cardiac Wave is part of the MicroMacro herbarium series that embodies analogous research, delving into the parallels between fibers in plants and human muscle tissues. Through intricate processes of dissection, fermentation, and positioning of fibers, the Alterhouse series offers a variety of scaled works, revealing the microscopic and macroscopic anatomical tissues of our intimate anatomy across different layers of our reality. The essence of MicroMacro lies in its aim to induce a meditative state, encouraging viewers to reflect on the life forms that constitute our bodies. It conveys the profound concept that we are fundamentally resonant beings intricately connected to cosmic currents.
