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 has the ability to deliver a certain feeling- 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.
