Anatomy of the Greys

A speculative visual essay examining a familiar image as a design question.

What might the recurring depiction of the Grey suggest about anatomy, senses, cognition and adaptation? This project uses that image as a starting point for hypotheses and comparisons—not as evidence that such a being exists.

Observation, interpretation, hypothesis

The depicted features belong to a cultural image. Explanations of how they might function remain speculative unless supported independently. The project asks what a proposed design would imply, while keeping that exercise separate from claims about real extraterrestrial biology.
