Danielle Parsons is a video artist working with microscopic science, and Camille is a portrait artist painting emotion with color.

In this piece, Camille painted a portrait of Danielle's face. She aimed to capture the personality and emotion in Danielle gleaned over several conversations. Everything from the colors used to the ink marks were made to convey Danielle's story. Camille paints portraits of hidden emotions that are not told with words, while also pushing out pieces of herself in the subjects she paints.

Danielle's additions to the portrait highlight the crystalline phase of her work. She has been exploring crystal structures for several years. Microscopic video of liquid crystals, chemicals, Vitamin C, and macro video of faceted gems are masked onto the canvas. The Rorschach inkblot ant is her artist's tag, cushioned on her cheek by a sparkler filmed in macro slow motion.
