$400

“The inexpressible depth of music, so easy to understand and yet so inexplicable, is due to the fact that it reproduces all the emotions of our innermost being, but entirely without reality and remote from its pain...Music expresses only the quintessence of life and of its events, never these themselves.”

— Oliver Sacks, Musicophilia: Tales of Music and the Brain

Canvas with hand-generated gilding and silk embroidery. Imagery reflective of the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for neurology. Gold detailing follows the Circle of Fifths — a tonal architecture mirroring the diagnosis.
