Design description: In "Naked DNA", a physiological phenomenon is stylized. This is the DNA molecule that is freely floating outside of a cell in the blood stream. It was inspired by the classical Ottoman motif "Chintamani" which was a power symbol. In "Naked DNA", the Chintamani motif becomes blood cells. In conclusion, this motif utilizes the cultural heritage of the Ottoman arts and combines it with the genetic heritage of cells symbolized by the DNA molecule.
