reminisce
Color is both self-evident and mysterious, an unspoken language everyone can understand - but also reads differently. Cognitive tasks, decisions and emotions get influenced by the colors surrounding us without you even noticing us. This makes color a good medium to express the inexplicable.
With my project ‘reminisce’ I wanted to dive into the complexities of the human brain and the emotions we experience. Given that color gets processed the same way as memories, I used color as a medium to tell my life’s story. The result is an understandable jet poetic series of plaids - that narrates my story, but is free for interpretation to the viewer.
