Alzheimer And The Power of Sound



I looked at how sound affects our brains and I was amazed to discover that people who suffer from Alzheimer disease who have listened to certain sound or song have had some of their memory regain. To me that is amazing because it shows just how powerful sound really is. If you were to imagine a man in Alzheimer who doesn't know his wife's face and hears the song they danced to when they were young and is able to remember that, it shows that sound can be more powerful than just showing someone a photograph.

I made this in Cinema 4d and Illustrator.
The message behind this artwork is that sound opens up places in the mind you didn't know you had. The message behind the vector of the brain is that it is as if the person has a healthy brain that functions as it should and you can see the neurons and brain activity in the background reacting to the sound and music.
