An ongoing series of hand-drawn generative works, paying tribute to pioneering scientific figures facing unnaturally high barriers during their often arduous academic journeys. The central diagonal line is the route from the birthplace to the location of the most significant work by the scientist in question. Each subsequent line attempts to mimic this original route, creating a rippling line of accumulated Deleuzian variance that serves as a representation of the influence of their discoveries for all who came after them.

Part 2, “stolen legacy”, is a tribute to the chemist Alice Augusta Ball, the first woman, and first African American, to be awarded a Masters degree at the College of Hawaii. Ball developed a radical treatment for Leprosy, based on modifying ethers of chaulmoogra oil to produce an injectable medicine. The treatment liberated many from forced exile on the island of Molokai and the stigma of this hitherto incurable disease. Ball died of undetermined causes in 1916 at the age of just 24, and her work was stolen and published without credit by a colleague (and later president of the University of Hawaii), Arthur L. Dean. Her work is only just being fully recognised, over a hundred years later.
