"An example of the visual distortion just before a migraine headache occurs. With eyes closed these colors and shapes flash and fluctuate. It starts small and enlarges to fill entire field of vision and then disappears. It is very beautiful, but you don't want to see it, because you know the pain is coming next."

(Amy Koba, Artist's statement, undated.)
