Like physicists who are also lyricists, and athletes who write scientific works, sculptural works by a Scottish author Jessica Lloyd-Jones can be called art, science and technology at the same time. Anatomically correct internal organs of a person, made of thin glass, figures from the series Anatomical Neon can be both a sculptural composition and a model, a visual exhibit for students studying the structure of a person. Glass heart and lungs, glass brain and optic nerve - the Anatomical Neon series consists of these four sculptures, illuminated from the inside by multi-colored LEDs. The author of the project claims that with this work she conceived to focus the public's attention on the energy that lies in the human body. So, the brain processes information received by the kinetic and sensory pathways, the optic nerve is responsible for visual information, the heart is responsible for feelings and emotions, but the lungs supply blood with oxygen and allow a person to breathe in life, which is noisy, boiling and seething around.
I must say that Jessica Lloyl-Jones is quite famous precisely for her light sculptures and installations, which she repeatedly presented in modern art galleries, and also participated with them in open-air art performances, in pavilions and exhibition halls in New York, Great Britain., Germany and other European countries.
The Anatomical Neon series was funded in part by the Arts Council Wales and Wales Arts International and presented to the public as part of the Urban Glass exhibit in New York in 2010.

Giant human organs made of glass from designer Sigga Heimis
Human organs have always inspired artists and designers to create original and rather unusual masterpieces. Some of them were used simply as beautiful exhibits of the exhibition, with the help of the rest it was possible to study anatomy, examining one or another part of the body with one's own eyes. I must admit that human organs made of glass look much better than a real skeleton, which some biology laboratories are so proud of. At least that's what the designer Sigga Heimis, who creates the giant, thinks
