What body contains so much emptiness? The circuit hums, but whose thought passes through?
Anatomy of the Infinite: Containment and Conduction in the Living Web.
Here I investigate the shuddering boundary between the comprehensible body and the cosmic unknown—rendering the universe’s grand filamental structure as an immense, cellular nerve. The image asks whether the forms of thought and tissue scale upward to cosmological order, or whether this resemblance reveals the futility of recognition. With pearly ‘vesicles’ of galaxies afloat in a slick, myelin-like sheath and silver-black neurofibrils of dark matter threading through chilled molecular gas, I wanted to carve the ache of finding home in alien structures. The cold clinical detail, peristaltic waves, and absolute void together summon the existential tension of meeting the infinite as organism—organic unease sharpened into awe at the anatomical precision of the cosmos.
