ARTIST STATEMENT

'Synaptic March' engages the field of Neuroaesthetics, offering an inquiry into the manic state of Bipolar Disorder as a sublime, neurological landscape.

The canvas scales the synaptic junction to a cosmic peak, a fractal landscape where microcosmic chemistry dictates the macrocosmic experience of consciousness. The figure, engulfed by the light of firing neurotransmitters, embodies the moment where personal grandiosity becomes the overwhelming, temporary reality of biological processes.
