Watching the news every day, Jon felt disgusted and depressed by the widespread discrimination based on skin color and gender, as well as incidents of police and gun violence across America. One day, Alexa came across a body-painted piece of "Man Watching TV" by John, and came up with the idea for the "Color of Reality" project, which expressed this emotion of grief. The two immediately hit it off and decided to make a video. Since this was their first story-driven project, they enlisted Alexa's friend Kelly as producer. Kelly coordinated the crew and equipment necessary for the shoot, and met with John daily for detailed phone conversations. She listened to John's detailed story and prepared for the shoot, ensuring that Alexa and the production team could successfully bring his vision to life. Kelly's skill allowed them to assemble a top-notch crew and equipment, and they finally began filming over two days with Alexa, John, and his partner, dancer Lil Buck. The resulting video depicts two people watching television, witnessing a tragic violent incident on the news, and expressing their grief through dance. The piece contains a poignant message from African-American artists: what if they or their family members were victims? It is a beautiful fusion of dance and oil painting, and gives the viewer the strange sensation of watching a moving oil painting that moves from two-dimensional to three-dimensional.
