Vibrant Sounds and Loud Colors: My Experience With Synesthesia
Synesthesia, meaning “to perceive together,” is a neurological condition where a person experiences involuntary connections between various unrelated senses. Commonly, people with synesthesia may experience a sensation of being able to “taste a word,” “see a sound,” or even feel the spatial position of memory in their head. Vibrant Sounds and Loud Colors: My Experience With Synesthesia is a book that I have created to visually express the impact synesthesia has had on my relationship with color, and how these connections influence things like my self-expression, emotions and memories. The book references my own synesthesia and features my connections with six colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. This book’s purpose is to explain synesthesia visually to non-synesthetes, because very little research on synesthesia has been done, and so few people are aware of it.
