The cognitive enlightenment value of these microscopic images is not confined to the clearer, finer, more precise world of science but may also extend to the vaster, older, broader chaotic world of art. In the constant switching and mediation between the seen and the unseen, the measured and the felt, the empirical and the mythical, Dr Li Tiejun attempts to construct a new language where medicine and art, technology and tradition, are no longer opposed but mutually illuminating. His ultimate gaze is directed toward the natural rhythms and life forms that lie beyond.
