If you enjoy concept art, this fascinating collection of illustrations in Nuna Anodm by David Elkins is for you. You will see pictures like a trio of men with a structural network of rods attached to their belts, an array of drums on a tablet, and even a rotating ring. The book also features illustrations that include a drum filled with methane, olfactory language with hollows filled with substances to smell, a mosaic cube, a unique mouthpiece, etc. Furthermore, there's a headband with dials to rotate, a peculiar hat with hinged rods, designs for stickers to put on the body in a grid formation, a woman walking while wearing a structure attached to her belt, and a picture of an air fountain with an array of jets.
David Elkins' illustrations may not seem easily decodable at first glance. They do, however, always make you ponder. And the illustrations in this collection are no different. Nuna Anodm is a captivating collection of illustrations that, if you're into concept art or social science, you will find right up your alley. As with his previous illustrated books, the author provides insightful descriptions of the concepts alongside each art piece, making sure readers are able to understand what inspired that specific design. This is what makes the book accessible for readers who don't belong to either social or technical sciences. This collection specifically focuses on the mechanics of rods, hinges, tubes, and the letters of the alphabet, as seen through both 2D and 3D perspectives. I heartily recommend this book to both art and science aficionados.
