Eye retina F008 / 0714
The retina, inside the eye, contains a light-sensitive membranous layer of cells. These are specialized nerve cells: elongated rods (flower like shapes) and cone-tipped cells, that produce vision. The rods are very sensitive and respond to dim light. With them the eye can detect images. While the cones are less sensitive but responsible for colour vision. Rods and cones pass visual signals through the optic nerve to the brain. Spectral colours above the cells represents light coming through the iris of the eye

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Eye retina F008 / 0714" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the intricate world of human vision. The image showcases the delicate and light-sensitive membranous layer of cells that make up the retina, located deep within the eye. Within this remarkable structure, specialized nerve cells take center stage: elongated rods resembling delicate flower shapes and cone-tipped cells responsible for producing our visual experiences. The rods, exquisitely sensitive to even dim light, play a crucial role in detecting images and allowing us to see in low-light conditions. On the other hand, cones are less sensitive but hold the key to our perception of vibrant colors. Together, these photoreceptor cells transmit visual signals through the optic nerve to our brain, enabling us to perceive and interpret everything we see. Against a pristine white background, spectral colors above these incredible cells represent light filtering through the iris of an eye – a beautiful representation of how different wavelengths create various hues in our surroundings. This stunning artwork not only delves into the structural intricacies of our eyes but also serves as a reminder of their extraordinary capabilities. It invites contemplation on how such complex biological mechanisms enable us to experience and appreciate the world around us with awe-inspiring clarity.
