synesthesia
Synesthesia or synaesthesia is a perceptual phenomenon in which stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway leads to involuntary experiences in a second sensory or cognitive pathway. For instance, people with synesthesia may experience colors when listening to music, see shapes when smelling certain scents or perceive tastes when looking at words. People who report a lifelong history of such experiences are known as synesthetes. Awareness of synesthetic perceptions varies from person to person with the perception of synesthesia differing based on an individual's unique life experiences and the specific type of synesthesia that they have.

A girl I know, albeit not too well, texted me out of the blue one day, expressing that she had dreamt of me painting music. Intrigued by the idea and acknowledging my current hesitation to sing due to a lack of courage, I decided to embark on this synesthetic exercise and attempt to visually capture the essence of music through painting.
It is unfortunately a project I’ve put on hold, for now.
