Summary
This art series explores an artist's journey through invisible illness, focusing on diagnosis and medical imaging. The work visually represents the challenges of adapting to life with a chronic condition.
Area of Science:
- Neuroscience
- Medical Humanities
- Art Therapy
Background:
- Invisible illnesses present unique challenges for patients.
- The intersection of art and medicine offers novel ways to explore patient experiences.
Purpose of the Study:
- To visually represent the lived experience of navigating an invisible illness.
- To explore the emotional and psychological impact of medical diagnosis and treatment.
Main Methods:
- Creation of abstracted self-portraits across various media.
- Inclusion of elements representing diagnosis and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Main Results:
- The series "BRAINEATERS" offers a visual narrative of adapting to an invisible illness.
- Artistic abstraction provides a unique lens on patient experience and medical encounters.
Conclusions:
- Art can serve as a powerful tool for processing and communicating the complexities of chronic illness.
- Self-portraiture in various media can illuminate the personal impact of medical journeys.

Ultrasonography is an imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize the body's internal structures. It is a non-invasive and safe procedure that does not involve the use of ionizing radiation, making it widely used in various medical fields. Ultrasonography is used to study heart function, blood flow in the neck or extremities, certain conditions such as gallbladder disease, and fetal growth and development.

German physicist Wilhelm Röntgen (1845–1923) was experimenting with electrical current when he discovered that a mysterious and invisible "ray" would pass through his flesh but leave an outline of his bones on a screen coated with a metal compound. In 1895, Röntgen made the first durable record of the internal parts of a living human: an "X-ray" image (as it came to be called) of his wife’s hand. Scientists worldwide quickly began their own experiments with...

Tomography refers to imaging by sections. Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses computers to analyze several cross-sectional X-rays to reveal minute details about structures in the body.
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
