(1) a gender relating to acoustics in our head which donât actually travel through sound waves nor is it processed through our ear and therefore isnât technically sound. Ex: narrators, music etcâŚ
(2) a gender relating to visuals in our head which arenât actually perceived through light nor is it processed through our eye and therefore isnât technically sight. Ex: reading a book, anything via imagination u see.

Colours + symbols:
(1+2)
the green at the top represents physical sensation, as green is the colour we see most shades of, it tends to overpower other colours due to our sensitivity to it and we are more likely to assume things are green. This is also why it is at the top. Green tends to also be a representation of sounds that are easier to hear in the range of 500hHz.
The triangular yet blocky shape is a way to show off the vibrant shades of green as well as using a solid shape structure (triangle) which is known to be sturdy, in contrast to an abstract one which is harder to name.
The violet is identical in shape to the green, besides being flipped over. It represents the illusion of senses in our imagination, as it is considered rarer in nature, and the colour we see least of. It also tends to be a representation of harder to hear sounds.
Being identical in shape to the green mimics how we donât tend to notice how abstract our imaginary senses truly are. The blockiness of the triangular shape also represents this, as we view the shape as a whole to be a triangle when in reality itâs not as easy to determine.

The two black stripes nearing the middle illustrate absence, with the dark blue hard to distinguish middle representing illusionary presence in the absence. Blue was chosen as it is both the closest to black as well as the colour between violet and green, serving both as visual appeal and the deception of senses in our brain.
Inspired by a Pinterest drawing and hand drawn by me, the snail in the middle represents the Cochlea which translated sound in our ear and is vital for interpretation. It portrays interpretation, as well as being both a portrayal of physical and mental sound.

The two black stripes nearing the middle illustrate absence, with the orange in the middle being a symbol of abstract visuals. Orange sits furthest from green and violet and is complimentary to blue. Itâs well known for its bold nature, and serves the purpose of showing visual imagination; how it is both so clear and bold yet abstract; how we reificate them internally to process what our mind is conveying.
Inspired by an eagles eye, known to have the best retina in the animal kingdom, the symbol portrays interpretation and serves as both a symbol of physical visuals and mental visuals.
