During my undergraduate studies, my research delved into the realm of immune diseases and viral infections affecting turbot, aiming to enhance the survival rates of aquaculture through innovative vaccines. The extensive use of zebrafish larvae as experimental subjects prompted a profound reflection on the intersection of science, industry, and human desires.

This project unravels the complex relationship between humanity and the rights of animals in the name of experimentation. it unveils a narrative that spans from pivotal scientific advancements to ethically questionable experiments driven solely by the needs of humankind. It is an exploration of the delicate balance between progress and morality, where each experiment appears as a domino piece, teetering on the edge of ethical dilemmas.

Through various mediums, I construct an imagined laboratory, transforming scientific inquiry into an artistic language that questions not only our scientific pursuits but also the profound meaning of human existence.
