Congratulations to Deborah Magnoni
Winner of the UCL Anatomical Art Exhibition 2022 for their piece, Jane Doe: An Autopsy.

The brain (especially the hypothalamus)
Description of the piece:
"She lived (un)happily according to society's expectations and died of (un)natural causes." The pressure, the expectations and the objectification of a woman's body can be unforgiving, creating an insidous lack of emotional satiety and palpable lingering diseases.
Congrats to the runner up,

A special mention to
Amanda Hertzberg
for their piece
Dysphoria
coming at third place.
Description of the piece:
When thinking of the theme for this years’ exhibition there is one case of truly unforgiving bodies that sprung to mind, namely the one of feeling like your entire body does not belong to you. Wanting to sculpt with clay, I decided to create bodies about to undergo surgery. The colour choices were meant to distract from the cold and clinical atmosphere and invoke a sense of pride in the markings that will become future scars.
