Forest of Trees of Renal Veins of the Kidney on Color Doppler Ultrasound

“Forest of Trees of Renal Veins of the Kidney on Color Doppler Ultrasound” is a rendering of a Doppler ultrasound that has been reconstructed in 3D revealing the veins subtending the kidney.

Artistically the tree like structure of the veins has been rendered to create a forest of trees. The work gives a sense that the viewer is deep within the quiet of the forest, since only the base of the tree trunks dominate the view. The color provides a mood of peacefulness, and the magnification of the trunks provides a spirituality and humbles the viewer in the face of the magnificence and grandeur of nature.
