Decoded
About the Project
Decoded is a series of twelve sketches that resemble pages from a scientist’s notebook. Each drawing examines a distinct aspect involved in understanding the brain’s complex structure and function, offering insight into different layers of neuroplasticity research. Text and data are interwoven with hand-drawn imagery, inviting close observation of the processes that shape scientific inquiry.
When viewed together, the individual works form a larger background image that mirrors the color burst response of the primary visual cortex. This phenomenon has only recently been observable through advances in imaging technology. As a complete set, the series reflects the curiosity, rigor, and aesthetic dimension inherent in scientific discovery.

Behind the work
The project developed through collaboration between artistic practice and neuroscience research focused on neuroplasticity. Scientific concepts informed the structure and sequencing of the drawings, while sketching and annotation techniques echoed the working format of research documentation. The process emphasized translation, allowing complex data and mechanisms to be approached through visual layering, repetition, and form.
