Made with acrylic paint on canvas
"What disease do you feel affects many around the world but does not have a lot of exposure?" For this project, my answer was blindness or colorblindness. It may not be a fatal disease that ends our life, but it does affect the way we experience the world. As an artist and designer, I just wanted to remind the viewer of its existence and how someone with this ailment might feel.
I imagined it in an artist's perspective, where every color they saw was faded or distorted, or they wouldn't be able to see anything at all. I wanted to depict the grief that a person would feel if a sight that they admired couldn't be seen. That feeling of giving up is shown through the voluntary dumping of black paint over a cityscape (a personal favorite sight of mine), where instead of letting the disease take their sight away, the person is taking away the sight themselves, despite their love for the scene.
