IN.SIGHT, 2024
Borosilicate Glass, Acrylic, Metal Frame
In.sight was a piece created to entice communication between two isolated communities – the visually impaired and the visually non-impaired. Often discussions surrounding devices and functionality for visually impaired communities can stem from people who do not know the experience and thus the needs of this community. Similarly, often visually non-impaired can seem uncaring or distant in such topics. This tactile piece, that uses a message of braille through difficult to see color, but not raised – requires the cooperation from both of these groups. The visually non-impaired have to accurately transfer the message into a paper format, whilst the visually impaired have to translate the message for it to be understood. Without one or the other, this piece loses all meaning.
