In a futuristic laboratory filled with bright fluorescent lights bouncing off crisp white walls, a scientist stands in front of a newly re-engineered organism. It’s not quite plant, not quite animal, a result of careful paragenetic manipulation, something completely nonvascular yet alive. A close-up shot reveals the scientist’s expressions of intrigue and unpredictable horror, his face harshly lit by the dazzling lights above. The focus then shifts to the organism – softly pulsating in a glass container – saturated in eerie green light contrasting the sterile surroundings. The angle shifts to a bird’s eye view, highlighting the difference in size and vulnerability between man and organism. The scene is carefully balanced, centering the non-human subject while establishing the crushing weight of ambition and uncertainty looming over the scientist. Depth is created through the rows of advanced machinery in the background, subtly hinting at the complexity of the situation. The scene ends with a dolly-out shot, leaving the viewer contemplating the enigma of life and the consequences tied to manipulating it.
