I've always loved tree of life art and decided to make my nerdy biologist interpretation. This piece depicts a polar dendrogram. Dendrograms are used most broadly for hiearchical clustering, that is, to classify the relatedness of objects and the time or distance between different objects. They are widely used in biology, for example, in evolutionary trees to identify how closely species are related and how far back in time different groups diverged, or to classify genes or cell types, so are quite literally "trees of life".
