Consciousness Divided

"A man raises his right hand to strike his wife, while the left hand reacts to defend her." This is one of many odd behaviours reported reported to occur in patients who have undergone surgery to sever the tract connecting the left and right brain hemispheres. The...

The Three Graces

Proserpina

Upon seeing Bernini’s magnificent sculpture, ‘The Rape of Prosperina’ I was inspired by how he had managed to transform stone into flesh. This is my interpretation of his sculpture. The sculpture displays the imprint left by gripping fingers on the side of the...
