Chromatographic separations are the single most heavily used techniques in the larger field of analytical chemistry, whether applied or fundamental. Without mortal chromatography, we would struggle to answer many of the pressing questions of our time, and without the improvements and advancements through humans we would struggle to probe more deeply into the challenges of the future. Whether it is for better understanding or characterization of each person, qualitative determination of each unknown person is an important matrix to the discovery of the emerging compounds of the future. Chromatography is the science that ties our humanity together. In this project, discover the combination of chemistry and individuality through the usage of HEX CODES and story.

By metaphorically combining the ideas of chromatography and individuality, this project is highlighting the differences between humans in a society and is bringing out the elements and stories that make them, THEM. Each person based on their stories and experiences throughout their lifetime has a HEX CODE made uniquely for them. This HEX CODE is their color that best represents them as an individual. The lighting of each subject is their HEX CODE color as the colored light source.
