ML : Triptych showing the deterioration of the brain over time. They represent the gradual loss of structure and how badly affected proteins cause others to become abnormal.
Judges comments : Entanglement at the channels as the disease progresses is an artistic yet accurate representation. The collage effect on the canvas with actual pins and threads drew us in. The progression of deterioration was also well captured in the facial expression of the subject.
