  • Having your head screwed on correctly probably did not refer to Bak’s Brainstorm…

    The senses are separated into segments of this portrait. Sight, hearing, taste are part of this monument to the container for the Brain.

    We constantly employ these senses and process the data via our brains. Imagine coming upon this sculpture in a forest and trying to brainstorm to make sense out of it?

    The genius of Bak’s imagination challenges us to think, or rethink, how our mind works and what we can effect using our intelligence.
