Prism is a work inspired by my study of Cognitive Science and the work of George Lakoff.

From George Lakoff & Rafael Nunez, “the very structure of reason itself comes from the details of our embodiment... Thus, to understand reason we must understand the details of our visual system, our motor system, and the general mechanism of neural binding.”

This work demonstrates one element of that understanding. The fact that even something as simple as being able to perceive color is dependent on us having a body. The body is also the vessel in which we have spiritual experiences. This was a huge epiphany for me to realize that the body is the spiritual vessel. We are an intelligent prism in which life experience passes through.
