"Looking through a microscope or telescope always brings me to a sense of wonder about the mysteries of existence. I am awed that infinitesimally tiny building blocks of matter and energy combine to produce myriad life and the complexity, grandeur and beauty of the cosmos. I have often used science as one source of inspiration for my art. However, I am not concerned with literal interpretation; rather I want my work to offer visual “keys” that open doors to the imagination and emotions." Asher Bilu
