    I assume each square represents something specific about humans but I can’t figure out most of them. Can someone list them?

      Humans are ultimately quite absent from that work, the theme is more exobiology :) Sometimes there are direct links, sometimes not at all, it is a mixture of one third, two thirds of figurative elements and abstract elements without there necessarily being a link between the different parts. I am looking above all for graphic coherence and a homogeneous, egnigmatic whole before a real meaning. it is above all a purely graphic work. a framework is still present: exobiology and cosmology. there is a topographical map, cosmological elements, figurative relief, an element which is related to bacterial life, a carbon atom, a molecule relating to “chnops” main elements of organic chemistry, a bit of dna …all of this refers to the appearance of life elsewhere in space, all mixed with elements with occult/scifi connotations
