A year ago I started combining the brain and heart to create a singular organ. I'm sure this has been interpreted in one way or another many times, but I've grown attached to the image and its symbolism for my own reasons. Mainly I'm drawn to the balance we struggle with between reason and emotion, logic and madness, love as something magical and intangible while at once being something practical and controlled by chemicals in our brain. I'm still exploring this and am excited to see what bubbles up.
