Visual Barriers

In this piece I sought to explore the barriers created by visual impairment. The bright and unnatural colours elicit confusion, leaving the viewer feeling detached from reality. The holes drilled into the board both withhold information and act as a braille description of the composition, adding a tactility to the piece.
