Colours Are Emotions

I wanted to explore the various emotions we wear as masks every day. Emotions can be temporary, subjective or deceiving. They can also have long-term effects and impact how we perceive reality and make daily decisions. They are absolutely a vital part of our lives. However, how we respond to our emotions and handle them in pressing situations is one of the main struggles of human spirit. Emotions distinctly affect human motivation, learning, communication with others, nervous function, and physical acts. One of the most explicit ways to describe them is through colours. Colours respond to emotions and moods intuitively and can alter our state of mind. Through using a series of colours as masks, I held a number of objects representing certain emotions. The images are an interpretation of my personal relationship with both concepts. What emotions do you experience as you look at them? 

I FEEL SAFE

I FEEL HOPEFUL

I FEEL PEACEFUL

I FEEL ANGRY

I FEEL NOSTALGIC

I FEEL SAD
