Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Marcia Smilack is a photographer and visual artist who experiences a phenomenon known as synesthesia, where stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway leads to automatic, involuntary experiences in a second sensory or cognitive pathway. In her case, she "hears" visuals, which is reflected in her work and the quoted statement. "Cello Music" is an example where she captures what she perceives as the visual equivalent of the sound of a cello, making her statement about hearing with her eyes and seeing with her ears directly relevant to her art.
