Occipital Lobe

(Visuals)

Although it is the smallest part of the brain, the occipital lobe is no less important than all the others. It is responsible for mapping the visual world and creating a response to visual perception. In my occipital lobe, you will find a series of photographs and multimedia projects that combine my writing skills with photography, video editing and visual arts.

Note: I am the girl in the video with a yellow sweater and messy hair. I am also the creator of the poem and the voice that reads it.

Come Buy, Come Buy
