THE UNREWARDED. This series of illustrations is a tribute to the model organisms of the biological sciences. The idea came to me during the Covid19 lockdown, when I watched a lot of Paw Patrol with my toddler. As I repeatedly witnessed the uniform clad pups “save the day” I came to think of other less celebrated species that are in fact saving our day, without receiving any reward or appreciation. This series is an attempt to raise awareness and gratitude towards those species - the experimental animals that live and die with the sole purpose of sparing humans from suffering. It is a work in progress, and a new illustration is added to the gallery on a weekly basis.
