Sanne de Wilde presents her series of work The Island of the Colorblind. In the late eighteenth century a catastrophic typhoon swept over Pingelap, a tiny atoll in the Pacific Ocean. One of the survivors, the king, carried the rare achromatopsia-gen that causes complete colorblindness. Achromatopsia is characterized by extreme light sensitivity, poor vision, and the complete inability to distinguish colors.
