The artwork Self Neural Portrait depicts an open window onto a stormy ocean, framed by white flowers and everyday objects. This composition reflects social anxiety and helplessness, with the ocean symbolizing the overwhelming nature of events beyond our control. The domestic setting suggests coping strategies and emotional distancing from the external chaos.

The open window signifies the interplay between personal life and global forces, inviting reflection on how we face anxiety in an age of constant information flow. While coping doesn’t resolve inner conflict, it helps us navigate the complexities of modern life.

An added layer is the EEG performed on the artist while observing the artwork, displayed on the exhibition label. The brainwaves echo the turbulence of the ocean, linking the mind with the external environment.
