Grey Door Individual photo from Changing Vision Two Eyes Portfolio

One of a portfolio of 12 photographs from Changing Vision Two Eyes. These photos and supportive text document the time between cataract surgeries when I saw the world with two different eyes: one on the left with the cataract and one on the right without.  It describes the distinction among colors, shapes, and clarity of forms I perceived. It was a profound experience and made me contemplate more deeply known theories that color is relative and seeing is a combination of sensation and perception.

Changing Vision Two Eyes Portfolio of a Visual Journey

CHANGING VISION. TWO EYES

Seeing and Perceiving

Portfolio of a Visual Journey

 

As a result of intense computer use during early Covid years, I developed the need for corrective cataract surgery. 12 photographs and supportive text document the time between surgeries when I saw the world with two different eyes: one with the cataract and one without. They describe the distinction among colors, shapes, and clarity of forms I perceived. It was a profound experience and made me contemplate more deeply known theories that color is relative and seeing is a combination of sensation and perception. With surgery in both eyes now complete, I experience the world in a new normal.
