This piece is 2/3 of the Portraying Perception collection. Through this project, I explore the neurological basis of self-identity: the way our brain integrates information from our life experiences and strengthens connections between neurons to create the memories we cherish so dearly — or cringe at.
 
The optic chiasm connects our eyes to our brain, integrating visual information to be processed and carried to deeper brain centers. Many biologists believe the optic chiasm to be a turning point in evolution... its role is paramount in the lives of countless mammalian species. This piece reflects how the optic chiasm (the center focal point) efficiently integrates various forms and types of visual information from our environment into a fluid stream that expands out in the far reaches of the brain.
