Man looks at floating brains in a dark room with a chalkboard wall.

A surreal, highly stylized depiction of Ned Block standing in a dimly lit room filled with mirrors and branching hallways. Hovering around him are dozens of floating, glowing brains—some translucent, some opaque. Each brain projects different visual fields onto the walls: scenes of someone watching TV, someone dreaming, someone reacting but unable to speak.
