Teach Me, Grandpa

I drew my grandpa and my uncle as a child sitting at the same microscope and both leaning into the eyepieces. The haze includes my calculus and chemistry equations from my high school classes. My grandpa was a physicist and he was always teaching me about different math theorems and concepts, such as the Fibonacci sequence. He influenced my excitement in math as well, so I wanted to show his impact on me by weaving in my notes in an abstract way in the background.
