Description
This is a piece of art that I painted using fluorescent nanomaterials on a canvas. It embodies the beauty of women in nature (with the flowers in her body) and in science using nanomaterials that emit different colors under UV light to add color to the drawing. This piece merges beauty with wisdom and knowledge.
