Julian Wild was commissioned in 2016 by the University of Oxford to make a sculpture for their bio-medical research centre: The Li Ka Shing Centre for Health, Information and Discovery.

'Origin' responds to the ground-breaking work that takes place at the Li Ka Shing Centre.  The title alludes to the importance of the small inception point from which monumental ideas can grow.
