From whence does a vampire’s bloodlust originate? What is the nature of blood-born blood, and does scientific observation at the microscopic level offer any insight into a phenomenon simultaneously so human and so supernatural? Cyanocytes poses these questions and offers a response meant to preserve as much of the mystery as it reveals. Shown as part of Rogue Buddha Gallery’s The Dark Blue: An Exploration of Vampirism exhibition in October 2022.
