We Heal

This piece shows how being touched by a loved one can heal you at a neurological level. It shows two human nervous systems in an embrace surrounded by their nerves unravelling into neurons, chromosomes, and DNA strands. There are parts that glow to showcase activity, inspired by fMRI images when cells are excited. The activity also happens at a molecular level which explains the presence of DNA strands with glowing genes. I was inspired by how touching my partner makes me feel love as an emotion glowing in the darkness of stress and sadness.
