Split & Fusion, is a 3D animation showing, in abstract form, the life cycle. Everything in the world is in a state of constant change. So are our bodies: mitosis | karyokinesis | cytokinesis - cells splitting and fusing. This animation begins with a zygote that quickly cleaves into two, four, and eight...until hundreds of cells form a blastula. The thin wall of the blastula further grows into triple-layered cells to prepare for the development of the organs, tissue and skin of a yet-to-be-born baby. But those same cells could be developed into embryonic stem cells rather than a baby. Cruel irony: The most valuable medicine to save lives comes from another, potential human life. Artistic inspiration and imagination can form at the bottleneck created when science and morality collide. If our cells could split into new ones forever, maybe the value we attach to life would be altered. If cells are elements that are only temporarily consigned to our bodies, elements that make up all life on earth, then doesn't that mean we, in fact, are the cells that make up the earth's great life-system?
