The literal definition of Diabetes Mellitus is “siphon honey”, which inspired me to use the hexagonal “honeycomb” to represent a cell shape, a pure and mathematically sound structure for generating form. The honeycomb cells were manipulated via Computer Aided Design (CAD) to generate more complex structures. This transformation of microscopic cellular structure into tangible form has evolved into the Islet Series, which integrates real biologically inspired data into jewelry form via CAD.
