SYNESTHESIASynesthesia is when the stimulation of one sensory system leads to an experience in an-other system. For example, you see colors when you hear music. Or a texture triggers a taste in your mouth. Think about those com-puter programs that translate music into shape-shifting patterns and colors that dance across the screen.

An abstract photograph draws away from that which is realistic or literal. It draws away from natural appearances and recognizable sub-jects in the actual world. Some people even say it departs from true meaning, existence, and reality itself. It stands apart from the con-crete whole with its purpose instead depending on conceptual meaning and intrinsic form.
