In collaboration with Crystal Marconett and her graduate research team at USC Keck School of Medicine
When working with Dr. Crystal Marconett and her research team, we wanted to highlight how lung cancer forms on a cellular level. Dr. Marconett and her team are researching how a specific gene, LNCC0261, can aid in treating lung cancer. Through the use of lung tumor scans, I was able to create a piece that not only shows how and why lung cancer affects the body but also ways it can be treated. Each of the cigarette boxes’ artwork shows different stages of lung cancer. The first shows an entirely healthy lung, the second a lung with cancer and being treated using the LNCC0261 gene, and the last a lung with untreated lung cancer. The cigarette boxes themselves represent the main cause of lung cancer today: smoking.
