Layers of Hyper Acoustic Pain

By

Layers of Hyper Acoustic Pain uses the artist’s writing, artworks, and photography based on his own disability, showing layered moments of invisible sensory disorder.

The image is all in black, white, and gray and is divided into three sections. The first shows text reading, "An almost invisible cause. Static moving. Patterns of sounds, invisibly visual." There is a dark figure at the bottom. The second image shows the words, "HYPER ACOUSTIC" built out of blocks. The image is very busy with a lot of cut out shapes in the background. The last image is mostly text, but the words keep getting cut off. There is also an arrow pointing down.
