Synaesthesia: The phenomenal power of human perception

Synaesthesia can teach us a lot about our individual perception of the world around us and how our view of reality is a subjective experience. Some people hear colours, smell flavours, or see shapes based on temperature.

We follow an artist who sees colours and movement in written words, sounds, and numbers. She found the best way to express her perception of the world is through artistic means.
