A lifelong synesthete, Weitzner has collaborated on the creation of ten corresponding fragrances and musical arrangements to further engage the senses. As a visual creator, she especially enjoyed the challenge of trying to translate her perception of color into the unfamiliar languages of scent and sound—for example, Whisper, a color world of cream, oyster, and parchment, needed to be “very soft, quiet.” By inviting viewers to experience color in such an immersive way, she hopes to “inspire them to think about how to use it as a tool to navigate their own lives.” Weitzner dreams of one day finding a choreographer to interpret her Ode to Color book through the medium of dance.

As a designer, Weitzner loves the overlap between the different areas of her practice, which has seen her tread a path from textiles to textured stone, from passementerie to jewelry. It has been both “incredibly liberating and nerve-racking” to come to Venice as an artist in her own right, but the longevity of her career has also brought a sense of self-acceptance. In the meantime, her color worlds continue to be the origin point for each new collection and client project she undertakes. As she says with a laugh, “All colors are viable all the time—there’s no color that is out in my world!”
