The Hidden Hybrids (2021) is a series of artworks that examined the various forms of human practices on manipulating nature, such as genetic modification and xenotransplantation. This series have included 10 pieces of collage drawings, accompanied by 10 miniature pot-plants made by paper props. With a bizarre combination of plants, animals and human body parts, the series have depicted my own predictions into the future, where genetic engineering became extremely common, thus causing the transformed species to take over both our bodies and the nature without control.

The Hidden Hybrids

The collage drawings were inspired by traditional anatomy illustrations, with confronting depictions of human organs being inserted onto the photo fragments of plants and animals, which symbolised the processes of genetic editing.
