ARTIST FABIN RASHEED AND NEVORVITER MURALI DORAISWAMY TO DROP NFT TO PROVE MENTAL WELLBEING AT ART DUBAI
NEW YORK, 28 February 2023 /PRNewswire/ — “MEMORIA”, a 3D sculpture as NFT, will be exhibited at Art Dubai Digital at the Morrow Collective booth in Mina A’Salam Lounge, Madinat Jumeirah starting 1 March 2023. Featuring a composite brain EEG recording of the artist recovering from depression, it spotlights the importance of connection, self-efficacy and love in healing.
MEMORIA can be viewed in 3D/AR and will be available for sale from now on 1 March 2023 on Nifty Gateway’s website.
MEMORIA is the first creative and scientific collaboration between Fabin Rasheeda well-known artist and designer who works at the intersection of creativity and technology, and Dr. Murali Doraiswamya renowned physician and neuroscientist whose groundbreaking research has helped improve the lives of millions of people.
Depression and prosperity are the two extremes of human well-being. More than 300 million people worldwide face depression – a struggle that can bring sufferers to the edge of the world. The goal of recovery from depression is to enable people to flourish.
MEMORIA depicts two people, one “there” for the other. One listens and cares for the other, which over time results in self-efficacy and recovery. The sculpture seen from the front has two faces, while from the back we see that they are both one. On a spiritual level, this also reflects the need to transcend the apparent duality of nature, i.e. there are natural opposites to every state of being – male and female, body and mind – which together form a balanced whole.
The golden thread-like strip connecting the two heads is a composite EEG trace of frontal and limbic cortical neural recording data. This is an actual EEG from Fabin’s brain recorded years before and after he recovered. MEMORIA highlights the flourishing process – from illness to well-being and from past to present.
Fabin Rasheed’s own personal journey through depression highlights the importance of building self-efficacy in recovery. Self-efficacy refers to a person’s belief in their ability to change behavior to overcome challenges.
Fabin and Dr. Doraiswamy hope their collaboration serves to raise awareness of the importance of mental well-being and flourishing for individuals and society.
Art Dubaione of the world’s leading art fairs, takes place 1–5 March 2023 in Dubai, UAE. It will feature more than 100 modern, contemporary and digital art galleries from over 40 countries.
