In this series of paintings, I explore the concept of synesthesia in nature, specifically how visual elements like color and movement can evoke auditory sensations. As someone who experiences this cross-wiring of the senses, I wanted to capture the way a landscape can come alive with sound and energy, beyond just the literal noises of the environment. Through experimenting with different techniques and materials, I've tried to translate this multisensory experience onto the canvas. Each painting is an attempt to convey not just the visual appearance of a scene but also the underlying rhythms and melodies that I perceive. In my future works I am curious about revealing the interconnectedness of our senses and the gap between the seen and the unseen.
