The Essence

Description

“Chromatic Hallucinations” is a body of work that focuses on the ideals of pattern. Different colors and shapes vary meanings throughout different cultures, but the idea is carried down from generation to generation. From birth to death, pattern is a part of everyday life and cultural practice. The drive to recognize and form patterns can be from a glimpse into curiosity, discovery of new ideas and experimentation through everyday life. The more patterns we can recognize, the wider our imaginative and creative scope. Humanity responds dramatically to balanced pattern so much so that it has been researched to reduce stress levels by as much as 60 percent, just by being the field of vision of the viewer. The more you are thinking about pattern, the more you can see patterns all around you. The future of intelligence is in making our patterns better, our heuristics stronger. One thing is clear, and that is being able to recognize patterns is much what gave humans their evolutionary edge over animals.
