GROW by Ginkgo Magazine Spread

Beauty is often what’s beneath the surface — at least in my eyes. In the 2nd issue of GROW magazine by Ginkgo Bioworks, I was invited to write and illustrate a piece to share what I found beautiful. I joined Carole Collet, creator of BioLace, and Grace Chuang, art director, in a conversation about imagining bioengineered roots and the beauty that emerges at the intersection of survival, creativity, and hidden potential.
