Bodhisatta Maiti and Debshree Chowdhury Q1<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Debshree: Thank you! I\u2019ve always been fascinated by how invisible struggles can be
expressed through visual metaphor. Sound sensitivity is rarely acknowledged, yet it
shapes how many neurodiverse individuals experience daily life. I wanted to explore how
photography and AI together could give a voice to those silent battles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bodhisatta: My background is in AI research, especially in vision and multimodal
models. For me, the challenge was: Can we design a pipeline where invisible auditory
stressors\u2014like a ticking clock or siren\u2014translate into coherent visual metaphors? The
idea of bridging neuroscience, sensory studies, and generative AI was irresistible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Debshree: It came from the idea that sensory overload is invisible to outsiders. A room
full of laughter may seem joyful, but to someone with sound sensitivity, it can feel like the
world collapsing. The title captures that unseen dimension of lived experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bodhisatta: It also reflects the AI\u2019s role. The system isn\u2019t visualizing the sound itself but
the internal state it provokes. The title acknowledges that gap between what\u2019s externally
hear and what\u2019s internally feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bodhisatta: We started from published clinical and neuroscience studies documenting
which sounds are most distressing for people with autism or sound sensitivity. Each
sound was mapped to associated descriptors like \u201cfragmentation,\u201d \u201coverstimulation,\u201d or
\u201ccollapse.\u201d We then used a language model to expand these descriptors into structured
scene prompts, which fed into SDXL for image generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Debshree: My role was to refine those prompts artistically\u2014choosing palettes,
metaphors, and textures that resonate emotionally while staying faithful to the science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
