Stunning Embroidered Anatomical Illustrations by Juana Gómez

Chilean artist Juana Gómez’s latest project titled “Serie Constructal” explores the symbiotic relationship between nature and the human body. Sprouting like roots, our internal organs are an authentic reflection of nature, specifically the meaningful metaphorical shape of the tree. The iconic symbol of the tree is found deep within the human mind and lungs; while the flowing complexity and movement of water resembles the natural shape of our veins and nervous system. The latter is deeply explored by Gómez’s fleshy illustrations and veiny stitch.

Her aim is to find a way to artistically express the irony and connection between the human anatomy and Mother Earth. By combining the artifice, such as embroidery with an organic conceptual tool like the human body, Gomez highlights the complicated structure of architecture in nature. Her embroidery work is based on the repetition of nature and the arousing curiosity as to why these commonalities exist.
