ABOUT THIS WORK
Text by Janaina Mello Landini
This Ciclotrama is about ancestry, not the one that distinguishes
us but the one that unites us through the maternal ”Haplogroups”
recognized in our DNA, which are able to trace the origins
of the maternal lineage, until we reach the common ancestor
approximately 200,000 years ago.
Here it is made bigger to treat no more the indivisible and
unique thread; however, takes a scaling distance and suggests
the power contained in each string rope in a much wider system.
