A woman who sees colours, textures and shapes when she hears sounds PAINTS her experiences – and says Harry Styles’ voice looks like emerald green speckles of magic.
Sarah Kraning, 30, has experienced visuals with sounds for as long as she can remember but was only diagnosed with synesthesia aged 22.
Sound-to-colour synesthesia is a rare condition where sound evokes an experience of colour, shape or movement.
Sarah struggled growing up with the distractions of her condition and was tested for ADHD and autism before a lesson on synesthesia led her to her diagnosis in 2015.
Her visuals come to her automatically like a “sense” but can be overstimulating and Sarah sometimes has to wear ear buds or remove herself from a situation.
