That's a great piece of art, but maybe a content warning for gore-y content would be in order.

  Did not perceive it as such. It is metaphorical. And it is an animated illustration (as opposed to realistic depiction). Actually, the first reference is the scan (the slices are MRI), so an image of analysis. Then, the slicer can suggest removal (of the «bad memories»). If anybody perceived it as sensational, they should go beyond the impact and perceive it as operational, or as sympathetical (your fellow man is performing his burden - where a bit of apprehension for the in-a-perspective "painful" act is shared experience).

    I would definitely categorize it as "gory". I can almost "feel" the slicing, the moment I look at it. It's not like I can control my perception like you say, even if I tried: the interpretation and emotional/body reaction happens before that. I can intellectually ADD information, but by that not really resolve what the "emotional brain" does.

      > I can almost "feel" ... the moment I look at it That should not happen. It is as if you could feel what is happening inside "Tom and Jerry" and "Road Runner". Certainly Hanna, Barbera, Jones and Maltese did not even remotely mean to induce sensational sympathy. Similarly, Carrilho is expressing concepts through visual art, with the usual mechanism of "subject and object" - detached, it is implied. Allow me to suggest: you may have acquired that "open channel allowing influence" as a habit, like a posture. It should slowly recede through the constant conscience that the spectator is detached and the sensational influence is an improper disposition that must be (naturally, automatically - it will gradually come with the conscience) corrected.
