CLOUDED CLARITY
By Megan Wappel
Artist Statement
This piece represents a life fulfilled and legacy never forgotten. Each section of
the brain is curated to depict its most fascinating functions. Laser-cut acrylic
is used to symbolize areas of the brain that develop emotions, relationships,
senses, knowledge, movement and creativity built throughout a person's life.
Clear acrylic was used to represent these actions and memories disappearing
for an individual struck with dementia. The structure of what built these
memories remains; the impact the individual had on their surroundings will
never be erased. The clarity of their existence will forever be remembered.
Dedicated to Megan's Grandpa Joe.
