LANGUAGE BECOMES SOMETHING SHAPED AND SEEN BEFORE MEANING EMERGES.

For some synesthetes, color is an inseparable part of language. Letters do not appear as neutral marks, but arrive with their own chromatic presence. A word is already tinted before it is read, and its color remains stable, familiar, and personal.

This website translates synesthesia into a system of interactive, sensory-based experiences. Each color represents a specific sense, and each experience is built through the combination of two senses at a time. By scrolling, selecting, and combining colors, users explore different sensory pairings and encounter varied forms of synesthetic interaction, revealing how perception shifts through connection and overlap.

Synesthesia is a perceptual phenomenon in which one sense automatically triggers another. Sounds may appear as colors, letters may take on shapes, and numbers may feel spatial or textured. These cross-sensory connections are consistent and involuntary, shaping how synesthetes experience the world.
This project explores synesthesia by focusing on the relationships between pairs of senses, translating these internal experiences into visual and interactive forms.
