Vitrified human brain / Megüvegesedett emberi agy
In memory of the conteo victims, whose brains, under the pressure of the many nonsenses during the epidemic, suddenly warmed up and vitrified.
Az összeesküvés-elméletek áldozatainak emlékére, akiknek a járvány ideje alatt a sok képtelenség nyomására agyuk hirtelen felmelegedett és megüvegesedett.
Without the subtitle I wrote for the image, the painting remains incomprehensible. Much like real "in memoriam" inscriptions, the text is intertwined with the artwork. The painting is a reflection on the incredible amount of conspiracy theories and pseudoscientific news experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic, which goes beyond personal harm. Inspired by a discovery from Herculaneum, this composition is based on a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine (January 22, 2020). The research suggests that the extreme heat from the Mount Vesuvius eruption was so intense that it turned a victim's brain into glass. This became the perfect visual metaphor for my work. I supplemented the black, shiny, glassy remains of a man's brain from the original picture with organic, dendrite-like extensions.
