Based on the information I found, I chose to construct a representation of the brain. I decided to create a "head" that somehow conveyed the "god experience" associated with mania. I wanted to display this idea by contrasting mechanical objects with items found in nature.
I covered a small lamp with various materials, such as paper and wire.
I sketched a face and fastened it in front of the "head" using wire.
There are branches poking out of one portion of the brain to address thetheory regarding the mind's natural tendency towards the supernatural.
