Ce n'est pas un Coeur

"Ce n'est pas un coeur," meaning "This is not a Heart" in French, draws inspiration from René Magritte's "ce n'est pas un serie" where everyday objects are depicted, highlighting that they are mere representations rather than the objects themselves. This triptych serves as a visual reminder of the three distinct brains present in the human body, prompting reflection on whether we truly comprehend the full potential of our brains beyond traditional perspectives. It challenges the pseudo-obsession society often has with the human brain, causing us to overlook the profound influence of the "brains" on our reactions to the environment.

The drawing specifically focuses on the Cardiac brain, residing within the heart, comprising 40,000 neurons that can function independently from the "head" brain. This Cardiac brain handles emotional processing, the expression of values, and interpersonal connections. It invites viewers to delve into the realms of "I Feel," "My heart says," and the notion of a "Heavy/light heart."

"Ce n'est pas un coeur" encourages a contemplation of the multifaceted aspects of our cognitive processes, extending beyond conventional definitions. By alluding to Magritte's concept, it prompts us to question our understanding of the intricate relationship between the different "brains" within us and how they shape our experiences and interactions.
