I created these sorts of “islands” or “landscapes” to represent thought sceneries. If we could actually turn people’s thoughts into landscapes, I think that they would look fascinating. I enjoy watching documentaries about people that have done extreme things, both positive and negative. Most of them look ordinary from the outside, but it’s hard to guess what goes on in their heads and that intrigues me. I’m also fascinated by forensic science and the process of examining the brain to find answers about a person’s actions and behaviors.
