Title: Clairvoyance,
Date: May 2021, Medium: Soft pastel on paper
Clairvoyants have always captured my attention as mysterious super-humans who can see auras, or colors, of their surroundings that aren’t truly that said color. I was fascinated by reading stories of clairvoyants who could see the auras of people or objects. People like these are usually creative and highly intelligent. They see people and objects in their surroundings as different colors; for instance, a stranger may be black with an orange outline, but once that person gets to know them, they turn orange.
My project is a self-portrait where I found the aura in my face every time I concentrated on a different area in the mirror. It is soft pastels on paper, and the size is 18” x 24.”
An essay I have read is about people who are Synthetes that have been interviewed and assessed by doctors. They are highly sensitive to their emotions and surroundings:
For my project, I found the aura of myself and translated what I ‘saw’ as a drawing. Although I am not a clairvoyant there is a trick online that I found, in which if I stare at a blank white wall in my reflection for a long period of time, and then concentrate on myself in the image, the color of myself will change to the contrast of what it is: https://www.oprahdaily.com/life/a35015599/aura-colors-meaning/
