Letters
Dear Sacha Mallor,
Your art piece has generated a lot of feelings in me. But there is a certain mystery about your art piece, something I am not able to decipher. It's very beautiful yet there is something inherently sad about it. The true meaning of the art is not clear to me, but it has generated a reaction.
Dear colors,
You are an explosion. Colors burst from you like lightening in a storm. You remind me of evenings spent watching the sky before a storm- how everything changed from pink to yellow to grey- how the air was saturated with moisture and spark. You are chaos and structure, softness and tight. You reflect as a storm that we feel within ourselves- harsh, vibrant emotion camouflaged behind fog. Reaching out. Thank you for showing your power.
Dear art,
You look well protected on the outside built with many layers. Very strong and a protector of all. But on the inside you may not be the same. You look fragile and tender just like us all.
My dearest,
You are damaged. You hide yourself in shame and use colorful distractions to shift the spotlight off of yourself. You are not perfect and will never be. No one is. It is only up to you to find your inner beauty. Once you achieve this feat, your inner beauty will match your outer beauty. Be proud of who you really are.
Dear masked one,
Cracks are apart of life. Your brightly colored mask shielding your eyes and your title made me feel sad. Your tapestry, your medium, your material shows your strength. Let life in and do not worry about your cracks because they make you who you are.
Abstract:
In my data visualization for my 360-degree video I would like to use the Meditation Encounter in combination with the written letters to show how art has the ability to evoke emotions. Art's ability to stimulate an individual's emotions leads to the ideology that art can heal. I will use the written letters to show what emotions individuals wrote about and how different colors, textures, designs, compositions, etc. provoked these emotions that left them feeling significantly different after they viewed the artwork. I will use segments from the 360-degree video when the class is instructed to find a piece of artwork that speaks to them, intrigues them, evokes an emotion, and is then told to focus on this specific piece, close their eyes, and think about what the piece means to them. I will have 2D words come across the screen and my voice speaking the sentences in the letters as I focus on individuals.

"People describe my art as playful, whimsical, or imaginative...Art isn't just a hobby or a choice, it is a matter of life and death...Art allows me to harness all of the colors and shapes and textures in this world and use it to create something meaningful or else they will torment me and wreak total havoc in my life because I perceive the world different than most of you..."
"I have a nuericological condition called Sensory Processing Disorder, a challenge of people with autism. My brain responds to senses in total illogical ways... My sense get mixed together...The challenging part of my brain is how it responds to sounds and textures..."
"I saw the universe as a massive canvas and i was part of the design, as tiny as that made me feel I also felt significant like art was on display for me and i desperately wanted to share this experience with others and I knew that art could be the way...Art was a miracle, it reenergized me, it gave me hope and a reason to come back down to Earth and connect with others...Art brings out the perks of my perception, it amplifies the greatest of all senses, the sense of awe, the way light and shadows play together really inspires me, it's like music to my eyes...A life without art is a life without awe, which is no life at all."
Through her wild, yet intimate life story, Allison shares her attempts to cope with SPD, and how rediscovering art saved her life and transformed her world "from pain and chaos to mesmerizing awe and wonder."
