Hand-crafted 3D wood mosaic
Hardwood species, natural color
Approx. 150 × 80 cm
3000 blocks
At first glance, it’s abstract — a dense grid of wood in varied tones and textures. But step back, and the image begins to resolve: a double helix, rising from the grain.
It’s a DNA World is built entirely from solid hardwoods: nine species, each selected for their natural color — no stains, no paint. Every block is individually cut, sanded, and placed by hand, forming over 6,000 endgrain pixels. The result is a molecular motif made physical, expressing the structure of life through touchable, organic material.
This piece is part of a mirrored pair — its counterpart, It’s a DNA world 1, carries the same pixel map but tells the story with a different palette, revealing a striking contrast in tone and feel. Together or apart, the two works explore how subtle shifts can echo the variation that drives life itself.
