About
Sounds.green
Chlorophyll works by receiving white light from the sun,
absorbing the outer edges of the visual spectrum,
(the red and violet hues) but not the greens,
then transfers those colors into sugars
we all consume, but can’t be seen…
The moderate colors of the spectrum
are not absorbed and therefore reflected,
resulting in the various shades
of verde we can clearly see
emanating from the glade…
Sounds.green is inspired by this process,
and in a similar fashion, the light reflected
within its center can be scanned to bring you here
and transfer you into some sense of what it’s like…
bein’ green.
