Statement:
Intentionally prone and depicted as human anatomical studies, this work
defines the integration of all parts of our body as the source of cognitive
thought process by hybridizing the skeletal and neural structures as one
system. Ideas, emotions, memories and decisions are initiated electrically
by every cell in our body, not just those in our brain. Hemispheres and
regions present throughout our bodies define contrasting strengths and
abilities. These divisions, or bifurcations, continue into our day to day
lives and form our decisions, behaviors, memories and frames of reference
while reinforcing the micro and macro hybridization of our whole body.
