The Invisible Civilization An Atlas of a World Within
I was inspired by the botanical engravings of 17th-century naturalist Nehemiah Grew, fascinated by the intricate structures hidden inside plants.
I reimagined these historical illustrations as a scientific atlas of an imaginary civilization living within a botanical world. Tiny cells become cities, plant veins turn into pathways, and organic structures reveal an entire hidden society.
My goal was to bring together the beauty of antique scientific illustration and the wonder of discovering a world we never knew existed — inviting viewers to look closer and imagine what might be hidden in the smallest details.
