Individuals with visual apperceptive agnosia are unable to group parts into wholes. In this artwork, I have illustrated a meadow scene in which the parts of the flowers are disconnected. It is my representation of how those with visual apperceptive agnosia view the world. While those with agnosia are unable to see the meadow in its entirety, those who do not suffer from agnosia see the meadow as a whole, almost automatically. While we can group the flower petals together to form a "flower", they see the petals and centers but not process them together. It is a reminder that even the most basic, yet important, abilities of the brain may be glossed over.
