The title, ‘Tales of Telomeres,’ refers to cellular degeneration and the science of ageing, but the images resemble magnificent dome paintings found in Renaissance churches. The work hints that the scientific quest for immortality is as much a tale as the Garden of Eden.Tondo is a Renaissance term for circular paintings symbolizing birth, life and eternity.
