'In the Lab' is created as a visual opener for a university project presentation in the United Arab Emirates. The presentation explored the extraction of a bioactive compound from a specific bacterium, noted for its promising effectiveness against certain types of cancer and bacterial infections.
The illustration depicts a scientist in a lab coat, examining a red liquid in an Erlenmeyer flask held at eye level within a laboratory setting. The style is semi-realistic with a mid-century influence, inspired by the works of Austin Briggs, blending scientific inquiry with a classic editorial aesthetic.
