BLANK – Publication

Overview

Blank is a personal publication about experiencing life without mental images, inner sound, or internal dialogue, shaped by my experience with aphantasia and anauralia. Through reflections on creativity, memory, fear, grief, dreams, and self-perception, it explores what it means to move through the world when imagination works differently, while recognizing that everyone experiences life in their own way through memory, emotion, and lived experience.

Blending personal reflection with thoughtful inquiry, the publication explores how perception shapes identity and creativity in the absence of mental imagery and inner sound. It considers how memory, emotion, and imagination function differently for each person, and how meaning is formed beyond what we can picture or hear in our minds.
