A painted series that interprets brain health research through symbolic animal imagery and cyclical movement.

About the Project

The Art and Science of Healthy Brain Aging is presented as a carousel of animal paintings, each representing lifestyle choices associated with the prevention of Alzheimer disease. The circular arrangement emphasizes continuity, routine, and long-term habits, drawing attention to the everyday actions that influence brain health over time.

Through painted imagery, the project brings scientific concepts into a visual and accessible form, creating a space for reflection on how behavior, health, and aging intersect.
