Pinar Yoldas, Ph.D., an artist and professor at UC San Diego, uses her background in neuroscience and architecture to create thought-provoking art that blends biology, technology, and design. Her work imagines new possibilities for a more compassionate and sustainable future, from algae-based plastics to sculptures inspired by the human brain. By exploring how human desires drive technological innovation, Yoldas challenges us to consider how creativity can shape our world. (#39862)
