THIS IS NOT ABSTRACT, I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND ME.

"The expression of emotion is no longer considered a weakness but a desirable human trait to which everyone can immediately relate." -John Maeda

The latter part of this sentence immediately sums up the driving reason for this exhibit; the human desire for something in which everyone can relate to. In a world congested by abstractions and misunderstanding, I wanted to create an environment which focuses on taking the seemingly complex human emotions and reducing these emotions to something simple to grasp. What was a monologue carried inside my mind is now displayed publicly, waiting to become a dialogue based on the idea of shared human emotions through experiences. This is a reminder that although individual experiences are different- there is one underlying factor that serves as a foundation of familiarity, and that is the language of human emotions.
