A lifeless figure gains a sense of vitality and presence when it is endowed with documentation or fabricated medical records, as these elements lend it a narrative and history. By creating abstract "brain scans" or similar imagery, the figure becomes more than an object; it appears to possess an inner life, thoughts, and experiences. These artificial records act as a bridge between the real and the imagined, suggesting the figure’s complexities and evoking empathy. The act of attributing such data transforms the figure into something alive in the viewer's mind, blurring the line between the artificial and the authentic.

The imagery iare scanned traditional prints turned into acetate prints, creating a brain scan scenario by adding a blue led light.
