# Dopamine

## Visual Elements

Earring in the molecular shape of ‘dopamine’ in silver or rosegold; a hexagonal shape in the center with lines extending out of 2 points ending with a dot-like shape.

## Cultural Context

Dopamine is a chemical messenger in the nervous system, primarily produced in the brain's substantia nigra and ventral tegmental area. It plays a key role in the brain's reward system, influencing feelings of pleasure, motivation, and reinforcement learning.

## Justification

Wearing the molecular structure of your own reward system as jewelry is exactly the kind of thing a collection obsessed with drugs and neuroscience would do.
