Project description
|
This self-portrait focuses on the anatomy and physiology of the visual pathway. The goal was to accurately represent the complex structures involved in visual processing while making them feel dynamic and accessible.
Designed for an undergraduate audience, the piece uses visual analogies to clarify how the visual system works, pairing anatomical illustration with references to various forms of visual art in the accompanying text. The aim was to make the science more relatable and easier to understand without losing accuracy. |
