Our senses are heightened through the interplay of multiple stimuli.
The pleasure of food is shaped by the combined experience of taste and smell, while the emotional intensity of cinema is evoked through sight and sound.
Chromesthesia is a synesthetic interaction between sound and color, in which one sensory experience involuntarily evokes the other.
Music, perceived through hearing, stimulates our inner psyche. In response, the mind draws upon latent experiences and knowledge, giving rise to a synesthetic phenomenon.
This work suggests that sensory qualities intertwined through experience can, through an exploration of the unconscious, create a reciprocal relationship between color and sound. — From the artist’s notes by Jiheon Oh
