The Scutoid is about uncovering the hidden beauty of fractal geometry in nature through exploration and learning. Epithelial cells serve as our frontline defense against coronavirus, forming a protective shield that envelops every organ within the human body. These cells mesh together to form a recently discovered geometric shape: the scutoid. This enigmatic geometry has coexisted with humanity, residing within us while we remained unaware of its presence. I delve into this captivating new geometry, seeking to reveal the long-hidden secrets surrounding a fundamental aspect of our existence and what makes us human. My investigation delves into the impossible planes of the scutoid, its unforeseen curvatures, as I follow the intricate movement they create through their interweaving patterns. The scutoid represents the mesh that supports our protective shield, offering a fresh perspective on the composition of who we are. Through this work, I cultivate an intimate connection and exercise great creative freedom, driven by the pioneering spirit of being the first to explore this uncharted territory.
