Over time, the body is gradually overtaken. There is nothing that anyone can do but to let this happen, as microbes produce rapidly and conquer territory. From one, they become two, then four, then 16, \u2026replicating exponentially. For such organisms, this may be a primitive method of survival. But, for the infected host, this may mean gradual death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The way that humans face disease resembles the relationships between the earth and humans and between the environment and technology. This can be likened to two cultures of different sizes and strengths invading and pillaging one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Infection Series : Commensalism<\/em> is a work that features fluorescent lamps and live plants that change as they grow, calling attention to the beautiful and cruel relationship between them.
