Filena Arcia Task #1


I was really inspired and intrigued by the video we watched on synaesthesia especially since I had never seen synaesthesia depicted in a visual way. I had read about it before and taught about it; but to actually hear someone that has it talk about how it affects them and to see a representation of what it may be like really intrigued me. For this assignment I decided to use some of the things that the woman talked about such as her ability to see words when she hears them and associate colours to them as well as how she can taste them. I decided to photograph an image of a table setting with words and colours representing food one would taste. The two circles are the "o" on the coffee mug and the "o" on the paper in the foreground. Something incomplete is the sentences that are cut up representing food. Juxtaposition is created through the very black and white colours splashed with vibrant paint. The pattern is created through the text was well as the lines on the mug. The texture is created through the curled and scrunched paper. The fake is the fake apple made with newspaper and the line can be seen as the line of text on the food as well as the line on the mug.

    The image is feeling too chaotic at this point and your concept isn't really reading well. I would consider simplifying or just better arranging the elements in the image. It's compositionally quite weak.
