Hip to Brain series
The hip to brain series is a triptych exploring xrays from a WADA test. This test is the starting mark for every neuro surgery candidate.
The patient is awake for the WADA procedure to respond accordingly. The goal is to identify which side of the brain takes care of certain tasks such as speach, understanding, etc. by giving the patient a task- like counting- and putting each side to “sleep” momentarily.

The patient recieves a solution through an artery in the hip to go safely and directly to the brain to achieve the necessary effects, while surgeons are guided by x-ray.
