7 'doll’ sculptures crafted from degradable polymers and surgical sutures. Sterilised and seeded with different kind of cells (skin, muscle and bone tissue), which cause the polymer to degrade as they grow (therefore the dolls constantly evolve). Tissue, Culture & Art Project in collaboration with SymbioticA and the Tissue Engineering and Organ Fabrication Laboratory, Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard Medical School, USA.

Note: in collaboration with Guy Ben-Ary & Ionat Zurr
