"What mysterious forces precede the appearance of the processes, promote their growth and ramification, stimulate the corresponding migration of the cells and fibers in predetermined directions, as if in obedience to a skillfully arranged architectural plan, and finally establish those protoplasmic kisses, the intercellular articulations, which seem to constitute the final ecstasy of an epic love story?"
― Santiago Ramón y Cajal,
I began my investigation into Cajal by creating a homemade accordion sketchbook. After reading his biography, I lamented and frequently said, "someone should do an art project about his life." Then one day, I woke up and thought, hey, "I am an artist, and I can do that." I have been actively creating new pages over the past seven years. Here on this page are early inspirations and themes based on his biography's topics and interests.
