LEBHART

“What color is this?” is the most annoying question I ask almost every day to people around me. Born with Color deficiency, I’m not able to tell the difference between blue and purple, red and brown, red and green, and brown and green (and all the hues in between). Yellow is the only color that I always guess correctly. But I do not think of this condition as a disability but as an asset. It is just that what I see may not be the same as everyone-else.

I pixelate the objects as a way of increasing the chances of using the right color. Painting the small area with the wrong guessed color, will be “corrected” by painting the adjacent area with the right color. Finally, the “error” will be eliminated by admiring from a distance the image as a whole.
