Statement 

My idea behind this project was that I attempt to map the brain. I first started out with mapping the basic shape of the brain. The next layer is one that shows the left and right hemispheres, focusing on the fact that the left side is logical and the right is creative. The top layer is created based on brain scans. The brains are meant to show what can not be seen with the naked eye.
