Written By Joshua Sariñana

In an interview for the Griffin Museum’s Perceiving Pathways series, Joshua Sariñana, PhD, reflects on his journey as a neuroscientist-turned-photographer and the evolution of his creative practice. Sariñana recounts the pivotal moments of his career, beginning with his 2016 Griffin Museum exhibition Prosopagnosia, a series inspired by neuroscience and memory. This project, alongside subsequent works such as Representation of Hidden Communication and Image of Structure, demonstrates his approach to integrating neuroscience, art, and media to explore perception, identity, and storytelling.
