Artist Statement
My goal was to capture emotion through colors of the rainbow. I understand that different cultures and people have differing views on which colors display which emotion, but I wanted to depict what I thought each color meant to me. Emotion is something that I believe as a concept is very interesting to look at in pictures. Emotion can grab the viewer's attention and keep it if it is displayed correctly. Another goal of mine for this project was to have the viewer contemplate what they believe each color of the rainbow depicts for them. Arranging the photos was intentional because I wanted them to align with the colors of the rainbow. This meant having the lighter colors on the left and the darker colors on the right.
