Humanity moves ever forward. My body of work explores specific advancements and notable breakthroughs from different aspects of society. These include technology, such as the Wright Flyer’s mimicry of the bird; knowledge, including the proposition of the theory of general relativity; societal, such as the recognition of female rights; biology, for instance discovery of deoxyribonucleic acid; and exploration, such as the inaugural flight to the lunar surface. Each example is represented using only white lines and shapes on a dark background, with minimal text. Progress takes many forms, and always continues in some way or another.
