This drawing is an investigation of a researcher’s quest for knowledge. The title of the drawing is the same as the title of a lecture in which the scientist discusses her new findings. The tangle of pencil lines is a trace of the speaker’s laser pointer track. It not only describes the content of the talk but also reveals the network of intuition as the speaker’s rationale unfolds.
