🌳 What do the sounds of deforestation look like?
🎨 Sarah Kraning is an artist with synesthesia- meaning her work is a visualization of her experiences of sound as color, texture, and shape. Sarah is working with Re:wild as an Ambassador, helping to raise awareness and funding to help protect and restore the wild.
“The sounds of the chainsaw appear as harsh black, gray, and silver. The beautiful multi-pitched calls of the Swift Parrot are all elements of color in the piece. To me, the visuals of this sound almost appear as color trying to escape from a cage.” Watch as Sarah paints the devastating sounds of the Critically Endangered Swift Parrot frantically fleeing chainsaws.
The colorful Swift Parrots of Australia are threatened by native forest logging operations encroaching upon their nesting grounds in Tasmania. With only around 750 Swift Parrots left, the destruction of their primary breeding sites in eastern Tasmania is pushing them to the brink of extinction.
