Periodic Table in Art - Nitrogen

Nitrogen is present in all living organisms.  The Nitrogen cycle is where an animal poops or dies and the nitrogen is absorbed into the ground.  The plants then use the nitrogen to grow.  Then, humans or other animals eat these plants and the cycle starts again.  If nitrogen cycle is badly disrupted, we will all die.

Nitrogen is also used to make fertilizers and explosives.  Nitrogen is also the 5th most abundant element in the universe.

In my art, I decided to represent the nitrogen cycle by showing poop, then plants, then humans.  I used marker on paper that has flowers embedded in the design, because plants are a major part of the nitrogen cycle.
