This painting is the first in a series depicting the human immune system's Natural Killer Cells (NKC). Our immune system is a vast and complicated army with many different types of warriors. The most powerful warriors are NKCs which are colored blue. A cluster of cancer cells is colored green and somewhat resembles a weed. The two largest blue cells are injecting dark blue venom into the cancer cluster. And a smaller (more distant) blue cell near the top is "bombing" the cancer cluster with shrapnel.
Here is a detail showing the small blue cell bombing the cancer cells with tiny blue blobs, which tear apart the green weed (cancer cluster). The purpose of this painting and the ones I will put up over the next few days is to help cancer patients visualize the offensive occuring inside their bodies and to marshal their own natural defenses.
