DESCRIPTION

Dislexia is a geometrical abstract piece that revolves around the inability to communicate. Dyslexia, as a communication disorder, is thought to have two types of cause, one related to language processing and another to visual processing.
This piece is covering the antagonism between two sides in a conversation that have no common ground, between opposite sides that fail to truly communicate. As in the real world, the gap between emissary and receptor is frequently disrupted and fails a true dialogue – or peace.
There is no good or bad, just the incapacity of understanding the other’s difference. Will this dialogue meet its purpose?
Dislexia wants to represent this scenario abstractly, through two different visual groups that are opposite to each other by shape, volume, colour, behaviour, sound and physical state. In this chaotic dialogue, first group is presented in blue and white, within its calm, bright and pleasant nature (followed by organic bright and tender sound) while the other group is aggressive, dark, noisy and uncomfortable, presented in red and black ( followed by noisy, distorted synthetic sounds).
