Title: Explore With Me

Description: In this illustration, the viewer follows a doctor's perspective into the depths of the human body, exploring the mysterious realm of mediastinum. In the doctor’s perspective, the mediastinum is a temple of life hidden deep in the body. The illustrator depicts the doctor as an explorer, and every tissue in the mediastinum, every blood vessel, is no longer just an arrangement of organs in her pen, but a hiding place of mysteries. Every study and every operation, is to explore the subtleties of the science of life. Medicine is both a science and an art. In this work, she tried to blur the line between the two. Doctors are healers, explorers and decoders.
