Endosymbiosis: Homage to Lynn Margulis
In their book, What Is Life?, evolutionary biologist Lynn Margulis and Dorion Sagan address the question that humans have been asking for millenia. One of the answers they put forward is brilliantly poetic: "Life is planetary exuberance…the transmutation of Earth’s air, water and sun into cells… It is matter gone wild."
The painting “Endosymbiosis: Homage to Lynn Margulis” is intended to dazzle people with the beauty of the microbial world to which Lynn Margulis dedicated her career.More about this painting on my blog endosymbiosis. Prints and cards available at http://shoshanah-dubiner.artistwebsites.com

Crown Jewels
The bright green cloroplasts of Gonyostomum, an alga common to acidic freshwater habitats, are arranged along the outer edge of the cell, like brilliant emeralds in a royal crown.

Homage to Lynn
The viscous world of one-celled organisms seen in my painting "Endosymbiosis: Homage to Lynn Margulis" is now inhabited by a warm-blooded woman holding two spirotchetes, one in each hand. Or are they snakes? Is she Lynn or the ancient snake goddess of Crete?

Cell
Molecular exchange within the cell takes place at mind-boggling speeds. This painting blurs the structure of the cell to emphasize its "frenzied" activity.

Mitochondria
Mitochondria once lived as independent bacteria. Today they inhabit every eukarotic cells — cells of animals, plants, fungi and protoctists that have a nucleus— and use oxygen to convert food into energy. Mitochondria make it possible to us to stay alive by breathing in the Earth's atmosphere.
