Abstract

I was inspired to create this piece of art after reading Withering, the touching short story about neurodegenerative disease featured in this issue of PhysiOdyssey. Using the app Procreate, I designed a tree and limes to represent motor neurons and a dead branch to illustrate the decaying of the tree, mirroring the progression of the disease. 

 I am studying science at a Further Education College and have a particular interest in environmental sciences and biology as well as art.
