The Colors of Stress
How can I materialize emotion, specifically stress?
What color would you choose to express your stress?
I visually reveal the colors of stress hidden within the clear glass and try to explore emotions through stressed glass pieces. I approach the word “stress” in the context of stressed glass as having a dual meaning: in the physical sense stress is manifested in the physical structure of glass, while metaphorically stress has an emotional meaning and is manifested in the mind and body of an individual.
