Alchemy

Kate Levenberg is a first-year medical student at Penn State. The majority of her artwork is mixed-media sculpture; however, she has recently become interested in 2-D acrylic portraiture.

“It’s wild to imagine the complexities of the body described by the science of medicine. We have created a logic to measure, calculate and derive an understanding of the body’s processes, but the notion that these tiny reactions combine to somehow create humanity continues to strike me with awe. This print was created to explore this feeling and to envision the ‘magic’ lying within our physiologic structure.”
