Theory of Evolution Series
© J.P. Bell
This series explores the journey of humanity and creativity, using biomorphic forms to bridge Darwin's ideas on human evolution with the evolution of art—from realism to the abstract and conceptual. It reflects the growth of philosophical thought and creative expression, mirroring how both art and human understanding continuously transform.
