Converge

Mann Library Elevator Decal

I created a drawing based on the concept of convergent evolution, and it was selected by Mann Library at Cornell University to become a decal for the elevator doors. The idea behind the piece is that convergent evolution allows species that are in no way related genetically to have the same features because of the similar selective pressures they face in their environment. I chose to illustrate this concept with different animals (and a seed) that all have some form of wings. You can see how the same types of shapes have developed and I find it so interesting that this has evolved independently so many times.
