Phyllo-voyagers
Every time I peer through the confocal microscope in the darkness, it feels like I'm traveling to the outer space. Through the lens, I observe the mesmerizing spectacle of autofluorescent organelles within plant leaves, each glowing like distant stars.
Microbes have a very different life from us, they go inside other living things and make a new home there. Thanks to the advancements in microscopy, we now glimpse into the microscopic world. In these moments, I imagine myself perceive the surroundings in microbe’s perspective, striving to understand the path of nature's mechanisms. Yet, nature has been orchestrating the way of life long before human existence.
