Intaglio on UHT carton and blind embossing

21 × 42cm

Anatomies of Nature is an intaglio print with blind embossing that explores the hidden structures connecting life, perception, and the natural world. Layering botanical forms with mirrored birds and symbolic eyes, the composition reflects the idea that nature is both observed and observing. The all-seeing eyes suggest awareness and interconnectedness, while the plants represent growth, renewal, and the cycles of life. Blind embossing adds a subtle tactile presence, revealing details that emerge through light and touch rather than ink alone. Through these techniques, the work invites viewers to look beyond the surface and consider the unseen relationships that bind all living things together.
