Get to know their story.
Gems of Self-Reflection is as brilliant and limitless as the brain itself, a treasure that is radiant, multi-faceted, and infinitely unique. Each facet catching the light like a fleeting thought. Rhinestones come alive as tiny sparks of connection across the brain’s landscape, segmented regionally by color to highlight different lobes of the brain. A mirrored base reflects the sparkle from below, inviting viewers to look at the brain, as well as themselves, from new angles. This brain encourages you to illuminate the world around you in a dazzling display of disco ball brilliance. Shine on!
This sculpture translates the brain's layered architecture, weaving a web that is both biologically and beautifully interconnected, a balance of order and chaos. Synaptic Tapestry reveals the dynamic circuitry of the brain, a threaded network of neurons intertwined to relay signals to/from your body, problem-solve, dream, and communicate.
Cognitive Blooming celebrates the mind’s capacity to grow, adapt, and regenerate. Like a secret garden, the surface of this brain is covered in lush greenery, from velvety leaves to wiry stems, with unexpected blooms and tiny tendrils emerging as moments of insight, creativity, and surprise. Just like a garden in constant bloom requires tending, so too does your brain. As you feel yourself drawn in to explore this natural landscape, remember, connecting with the earth is a great way to nourish your brain health.
Brain POP! Brain Blueprint is a street-art-inspired brain sculpture exploding with color and energy, mapping memory, vision, and art across the brain’s landscape. With graffiti-inspired tags, bold vibrant colors, and labeled regions, the work celebrates brain science with flair.
Wellness doesn’t need to be muted.
This sculpture channels neurographic art - fluid, meditative linework designed to calm the mind - reimagined in blazing neon paint with a surprise twist. Flip on a black light to experience Neural Nightlight’s hidden world illuminated, as neurons spark to life, mimicking the electrical signals that drive communication in the brain. Connection between neurons grows stronger through repeated activation of communication pathways – neuroplasticity – is the term used to describe your brain’s ability to change and grow. Just as a shift in environment and exposure can unlock new pathways in your brain, here too, shifting light exposure unveils the richness of neuronal connections. Learn something new and light up your brain!
The Cortex Collection brain sculptures were made as part of Brain Camp - a free week-long summer camp that introduces elementary school kids to the brain. They’re available for purchase as part of our auction fundraiser.
