Imagine for a moment if there were a panel inside our mouths with slots and tubes? What if cords were attached to the face and chest to help connect people? Denewen is a collection of illustrations that sheds light on the different types of physical networks that can connect people. David Elkins presents an illuminating book of illustrations focusing on the intricate links between our physical senses and social networks. The book shows how a group of people can form a connection via a rope network. How do you think humans use shoulder harnesses to form an overall carrying unit? How do our olfactory senses work? You will find the answers to these questions and more.
Denewen by David Elkins is one of the most unique art collections I've seen this year. This book is for those science aficionados who are passionate about learning about the inner workings of our physical senses and social networks, while appreciating art at a fundamental level. Each illustration is complemented by a description below, so readers are able to appreciate the theme behind the piece and understand the concept that inspired it. I found the illustrations unique and informative. There is a structural symmetry to most of these illustrations that makes you really curious about the subject matter and the thought process behind the creation of each drawing. Another highlight for me was the themes. Social science is one of the key themes of this collection. Overall, I am very glad I read this book and definitely recommend it to science lovers.
