Representation of Hidden Communication was featured on VSCO News, spotlighting a visual narrative rooted in my time at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The project documents the often unseen, intricate world of neuroscience research through portraits of my colleagues and the lab environments we worked in.

The series offers a layered look into the lives of PhD-level neuroscientists—not just through the lens of their experiments, but by examining their motivations, identities, and the human effort behind scientific inquiry. These images aim to demystify what is typically a hidden process, drawing attention to the individuals who contribute profoundly to our understanding of the brain and behavior.
Captured using a compact large format camera and experimental New55 PN instant film, the diptychs feature both a positive and an inverted negative. This format symbolizes the duality of scientific research: the raw, unfiltered data versus the processed, interpreted outcome. The positive image reflects the complexity of empirical observation, while the negative offers a more polished, communicative view—the kind of visualization typically shared with the world.
