Completed shortly before the Coronavirus pandemic, this project presents a speculative future where trends in gene modification result in a virus that causes people in the closest of relationships to begin merging their DNA expression with one another.

I acted largely as a scientific adviser and trend analyst; providing insight into scientific and social trends that would inform such a future.

This was awarded a specially created prize by CERN and Logitech due to its philosophical depth and worldbuilding.

Only part of the project can be shared here; reach out for the rest.
