Animal Shaped Proteins

These artworks are based on the 3D structure of protein and DNA. The artist’s intention is to convey the wonders of genes, and to express our feelings towards nature, civilization and diseases.

Each artwork is accompanied by a music generated from the sequence of the same protein based on a multitude of amino acid properties. The music is automatically played when you click each individual image.
