Imagine a painting of a cluttered Victorian laboratory filled with arcane machinery and flickering gaslights. From a glass dome on a workbench, a disembodied, pallid human brain, veined with glowing copper wires and tiny whirring cogs, appears to float slightly above the canvas, pulsing faintly. This macabre artwork is framed by a heavy, patinated bronze, intricately cast with swirling aetheric energy patterns, tiny exposed gears, and rivets along its robust edges.
