The brain responds to the profound changes in our lives through its constant command.
It holds the richness of depth and transformation throughout our entire existence — our thoughts, alerts, feelings, memories, traumas, rules, g
The pains that remind us how alive we are, warning us that something needs to change.
The “Metamorphosis Brain” speaks precisely about these deep transformations we experience over time.
The element of water in the artwork metaphorically represents the depth at which everything is processed, as well as the connection with the essence of our physical body — the transporter of nutrients.
The brain is mostly made of water, essential for its vital functions and for maintaining its structure.
Migraine is also linked to turbulent thoughts, mental fog, confusion, and stress.
Thus, the Metamorphosis Brain embraces water both in its physical and metaphorical depth and importance to the human body and life itself.
It is an abstract expressionist piece, where one can perceive abstract forms and layered messages, channeling the energy of transformation in motion and depth.

Metamorphosis of Pain narrates, in three visual acts, the mind’s journey through the experience of migraine.
The aura is represented at the base of the artwork, with an image that evokes optical illusion and visual confusion — sensations often described by those who suffer from this condition.
Moving upward to the brain, one side reveals contortion, darkness, and tension.
Nails and screws arranged in thorn-like patterns convey the inner chaos, the dull and invasive pain.
The chains symbolize trapped and blocked thoughts — the soul in confinement.
On the other side, relief begins to emerge.
The lines loosen and bloom into arabesques.
Delicate butterflies take flight, some breaking free from the very threads that once held them captive.
The mind breathes again; the pain dissolves — and the flight begins anew.
A sculpture about what passes through us, breaks us apart, and, ultimately, rebuilds us.

A white brain, like an altar.
Black serpents coil in silence,
whispering ancient pains,
spells of thought,
memories looping endlessly.
Between light and poison — a trance.

At an event organized by ABRACES, art becomes a powerful tool for raising awareness about migraine, a condition that affects around 1 billion people worldwide.
The work “After the Brain Storm”, 2025, created by Rukin, is a visual dialogue between the brain’s dualities, divided into two colors that dance in harmony.
On one side, a pink background evokes the storm, the migraine crisis. Clouds gather, lightning, rain, and wind intertwine, forming a spiral. Stars and sharp objects also appear, contributing to the scene that captures the intensity of suffering.
On the opposite side, a soft aqua green emerges as a whisper of healing and hope. This side represents the relief that follows the storm, although the brain still carries traces of pain—like scars that speak of resilience and overcoming.
