“Everyone knows what it is like to experience humor”, Rod A Martin. It is a universal language that everyone understands. In thee times of darkness and uncertainty, humor is what can connect us in ways nothing else can. Punchline! is inspired by funny stories, memories, and moments that are personal to me. As someone with synesthesia, my brain interprets memories and thoughts into waves of pattern and color, as represented in Punchline!
