Constellation of Thought - A digital drawing which will be exhibited at the AMC (Kids Program)

"Constellation of Thought" explores the interplay between rational Mensa-style intelligence and spontaneous creativity. It is divided into two distinct visual realms. On one side, constellations of neurons form precise, angular patterns - symbolising the concept of intelligence as something inherent, whereas on the other side, it dissolves into an abstract mass of shapes and flora representing the building of intellect through environment. At the heart of the piece, a figure reaches from one side to the other, expressing our ongoing search for order amongst the wild. The piece reflects one of the themes in Boy Swallows Universe, where the novel explores the tension between fate and free will - whether our path is prewritten or forged through the choices we make.
