The cochlear spiral's unique snail-like structure enables our auditory system to efficiently capture and interpret the slightest touch of vibrations to which later on they develop in a vast range of sounds that we encounter in our environment.
In essence, I played around the idea of our "own little snail or house inside our brain" which offers a creative and metaphorical lens through which to contemplate the intricacies of the human mind, emphasizing its uniqueness, protective qualities, and potential for self-exploration. Suggesting that our inner world is a place we carry with us, much like a creature carries its shell.

Pamela presents two pastel drawings of the human auditory system alongside 60 dry-air clay snails, each leaving a trace depicting the scientific diagram of the ascending auditory pathway – from the cochlea to the cortex – on the window.
