Yellow Drift

Yellow Drift begins with a word that seems almost too simple to fail. Yellow. The project searches for that word across languages and lets the internet return its own visual consensus.

The result is not a palette, not a translation exercise, and not a neutral dataset. It is a map of disagreement. Each language produces a different yellow because each language points into a different visual world.

The work treats colour as a social compression system. The word appears stable, but the images that answer it do not.
