Obesity and the Brain

Obesity and the Brain by Jordan Gray. This is a photograph of a paper, foam core and transparancies sculpture.
I really like how Gray constructed this sculpture to the smallest details like the tiles on a bathroom floor to make this whole artwork complete. The shadows in between each object shows placement, adding a certain depth to the whole photograph.
The concept of this photograph is also very important. I love how Gray conveyed the message through this piece pf artwork, because it works and gets people thinking. I think that Gray is trying to tell people the brains of a person is more important than their appearance. It is inner beauty verses outer beauty, and inner beauty always outweighs the latter. Placing the brain on a scale and have it break the device symbolizes the concept of 'brains outweigh appearance'. I like how one photograph conveys such an important believe, creating the effect of 'one picture is worth a thousand words'. Sometimes it's much easier to create a piece of artwork to convey a message rather than write a whole essay.
