Description
The collage shows normal healthy liver cells (top left) with a healthy appearing torso (CT scan reconstruction bottom left). The top right image reflect cancerous hepatic cells where the nuclear to cytoplasmic ratio is too large meaning that the the nuclei are too big and the cytoplasm too scanty. This finding is one of the typical findings in cancer. An emaciated torso (bottom right) is seen in contrast to the healthy counterpart.
Artistically the stark reality of health and disease is exposed. This terrible disease stares at us in stark graphic reality.
Philosophically – the cancer cell is like a rebel in the community, who only has selfish interests and contributes nothing to the welfare of the community. As a result the whole community of the body eventually fails, and hence the emaciation of the body.
