Reproduction Entanglement
This work investigates ways of visualizing relationships between two entities and what is produced through their interaction. I draw from natural and cosmic systems; binary star formations, solar systems, single-cell division, and sexual/asexual reproduction as models for understanding how bodies interact, respond, and transform one another. Across these systems, the circle or flattened sphere emerges as a recurring formal structure, signifying bodily containment, cohesion, and vulnerability.
In celestial bodies, gravity compels matter to coalesce into a unified mass; in cellular life, the membrane protects the body while simultaneously possessing the capacity to rupture and divide, generating replication. These bodies, like human bodies, do not exist in isolation. They occupy shared environments where proximity, force, and circumstance determine how they collide, merge, or orbit one another.
From these encounters, these moments of collision or entanglement, something is produced. In sexual reproduction, two bodies intermingle to generate a new and distinct body. In other instances, such as binary star systems, immense gravitational forces create a sustained relationship rather than a third form, resulting instead in a dynamic equilibrium. I understand these universal systems as analogues for human relationships, reflecting the ways connection, balance, and transformation emerge through relational exchange.
