The power of art is healing. This theory rests upon the fact that art connects with emotion. It’s an energy. The mood in a piece can connect the viewer in a deeply profound way. An atmosphere can deliver a certain feeling of sadness, boredom, happiness, fear, surprise, anger, pride, desire, anxiety…and so on. In MOOD, we explore the deeper aspects of our various mental states, sentiments, and fleeting emotions that are relatable to us all.
