Step into the fascinating world of Santiago Ramón y Cajal as depicted while a Fulbright scholar at the Instituto Cajal, Madrid. Here, I present a collection of artworks illustrating the dynamic spaces where Cajal lived and labored, coupled with thought-provoking essays that shed light on this pioneering neuroscientist from a fresh angle.
My journey through Cajal's life is to capture a visual feast for the viewer. I meticulously recreated his daily habits via archival resources in the Legado Cajal at the Instituto Cajal in Madrid. She ventures to the places Cajal inhabited across Spain, immersing herself in the unique ambiance and history.
From the cozy corners of the Cajal household in Madrid to the rustic charm of his birthplace in Petilla de Aragón, Hunter's quest is to grasp Cajal's viewpoint and craft her distinct remembrances of him. Her monograph stands out not just as a compilation of artistic representations but as an intimate and personal tribute to Cajal's life and work.
