Life After Death, Magnified
Presented at Jefferson Alumni Hall April – December 2025
Death Under Glass is a forensic art exhibition featuring postmortem microscopic photography of human cells. The visual identity draws from the work’s balance of scientific detail and emotional weight, using minimal typography, tonal contrast, and deliberate pacing to create an atmosphere of quiet reverence. Working in close collaboration with the exhibition’s creators, Dr. Marianne Hamel and Nikki Johnson, the design complements the scale and intimacy of the images. The system spans through print, environment, and digital applications, guiding viewers through a nuanced exploration of beauty, loss, and the unseen structures that remains after life.
