Following the huge success of Digital Diaries, Natacha’s interests broadened. She became obsessed with science and went back to school to study biology - specifically biodiversity and evolutionary biology. She became fascinated with the mating habits of plants and insects, which she viewed as a natural extension of her interest in sex. Just as she saw beauty in the human body, she discovered the beauty of varied life forms. She learned the role of plant and insect life forms on the ecosystem and their effect on human life.
In her new book, Sexual Selection, New book Sexual Selection, due out in May, Natacha is both scientist and documentarian. She asks questions about the nature of selection as a scientist and answers these questions as an artist through photography and writing. She believes that sexual selection constitutes the sensual side of evolution, and she creates lyrical images by comparing and contrasting the sexual intricacies of plants and insects with human sexuality. The concept goes back to Darwin who explained how animal characteristics influenced survival of the species. Merritt adds female choice and sexual plasticity - or the capacity for being changed in form and shape - into the process of survival. The images in her new book are works of art that offer insight into universal sexuality and broaden the viewer’s sense of beauty and understanding of sexual behavior.
