Brainy Pop-Art

Photo contest - Brainy Pop-Art

This composition presents three solvent-cleared mouse brains; each row represents one brain captured from the same perspective seconds apart. Nothing has changed, yet everything appears different. Inspired by Andy Warhol's pop-art style, the repetition reflects both the rigor and rhythm of scientific imaging, where precision meets unpredictability. Each brain was made transparent through a chemical clearing process that preserves its structure while revealing uncommon transverse views. The result captures both beauty and disarray, an elegant reminder that even in controlled systems, variation persists and within the delicate architecture of the brain lies the same tension between order and chaos found in art.
