Our exhibit is inspired by the psychology behind how perspectives are formed, specifically the way we are influenced by our scientific and cultural discoveries.
The pieces chosen emphasize the important distinction between perspectives. What is true for one person may not be true for the next — where one may see beauty another might find death. The emotion behind color is a subject that is often interpreted by this idea of viewpoint. The way one observes different shades varies depending on the environment in which they were raised. Unique bonds are formed from these past experiences and connections are made through the individual connotation of color.
In our exhibit we have chosen to approach an important concept through a familiar theme. The artwork is meant to evoke a response — the response is determined by the individual’s perspective.
