Colour is central to understanding life and communication, yet often taken for granted. This project reinterprets it as a living entity, exploring its unruly yet fundamental behavioural patterns. Presented in a magazine, physical installation, and poster, it highlights colour’s role in artistic expression, offering new perspectives on its impact.

A digital snippet into ‘Colour Collision’ magazine where raw pigment behaviour becomes the subject – photographed, edited and sequenced to reveal the expressive potential of colour interacting. Each shade is formed by the principles of chance, capturing inks dropped into water. The tension between each visual and the viewer becomes about instinct not analysis, where the colours create personable, individual responses.

What if we could document a journey by not what we see, but with the colours surrounding us? ‘Departing Colour’ poster translates movement into chromatic language, mapping 18 destinations with extracted shades from personal photographs. 739 unique colours are formed revealing an alternative way to experience travel—through shifting palettes rather than landscapes, defining colour as an optical narrative tool.
