This piece of art is a manifestation of my interest in science and my scientific point of view on life. This art piece displays a colourful chameleon standing on a branch, but unlike a human's way of viewing the chameleon, my artwork depicts the animal and the branch at the molecular level; the molecular structure is made up of carbon, water and hydrogen molecules, which are molecules that would be found in an actual chameleon.
