REBUILDING
By Brianne Burnell
Artist Statement
How incredible it is that your brain can heal. Anorexia changes your brain
structure, affecting your memory and ability to think. Through recovery, your
brain rebuilds. With a blooming crystal surrounded by scattered fragments,
Brianne imagines the inner workings of the brain through this healing process.
