This is a picture of me when I was just a few hours old. The drawing is made from the letters ATCG, which is our genetic code. I used letters and added 2 errors which represent DNA defects that can cause inherited genetic diseases. When viewing the picture up close you only see the letters, but when you look from a distance you can see the face.
