Abstract
In this work, I re-examine the long-existing relationship between Humans and Nature by focusing on our symbiotic connections through touches and their traces. I use petri dishes as a tool to reveal the myriad micro and macro interactions, that we are continuously having with our surroundings. Therefore, I consider them an extension of what defines the contemporary Human portrait. Again: "What is it to be Human?" In the juxtaposition of Arts and Sciences, this work highlights interdisciplinarity and collaboration as key factors to blur the rigid boundaries separating scientific methodology and art aesthetics.
