I decided to look closely into genetic modification and evaluating the extent of understanding what is too far? I wanted to portray the aspect that mice are used as the first testing stages as they are similar to humans and are of a mass population, personally I find that this isn’t a good enough reason to just make them glow in the dark!
Genetic modification is getting too much, it is now accessible to everyone and anyone, through a kit you can buy online; how many more glowing in the dark animals are we going to have? My aim was to create an expressive sequential illustration that metaphorically demonstrates the unnatural extent of making an animal glow. My final piece would be seen in a newspaper or as a poster.

This project is a personal piece of work and what I would call my rediscovery of mice as species all over again. I’m sharing my own experience with them and a bit of insight about real interactions between both sides of the conflict. I am trying to understand the changes around us that come with mice, the physical and the psychological responses to them. My observations - the initial shock, the denial, the annoyance, the fear - I try to question them in my illustrations.
