| "Meet Yellow, the basic character of this exibition. He was chosen carefully from the color spectrum to ring the alarm about everything around us. Yellow, as a character and also in color meaning, is the greatest communicator and loves to talk. But we all know the power of words and how it works. Communication is the key for a functional life. That is why it is very important to pay close attention to what we say and what we hear, just like the yellow traffic sign that warns us.
The Yellow Nest, which can be identified as the human soul, it is basically the light, the place where the essence of human being lives. It is our uplifting and illuminating center, offering hope, happiness, cheerfulness and fun. Also it is a precious thing. Just think about the sparkles of the gold in sunlight. Impressive isn't it? Now, imagine all that sparkle inside you, all the warmth and positive vibes. It should make you feel great and unique.
But what happens when your center, the house of your soul, is easily captured by negative feelings and energies? What happens when you have to live in a continuous crisis promoted by the media? What happens to you when everything that surrounds you is negative? Can you handle fear? The characters in the exhibition, reflect the state we all feel in this uncertain year.
In this case, many of us will look like Yellow: worried, ill, withered, selfish and unstable.
In a year like 2020, it is very easy to draw attention to a negative thing and to amplify its vibration so that the whole world is overwhelmed by fear, uncertainty, stress and insecurity. Just like Yellow: it can have a disturbing effect and used too much, it can can cause people to become critical and demanding without a solid reason. It can agitate and lead to nervousness and emotional instability.
Yellow is Non-Emotional: it relates to the head not the heart and this can be a bad thing when is used in excess. It can leads to overthinking and shutting down the opportunities. Or even worse, shutting down your heart and emotions. It is sounds familiar to you? We are passing through a strange period where all the people are guided to become estranged from each other. This will definitely affect the entire behaviour of our society. If we are not careful and balanced enough, this whole social context can transform and manipulate us in such a way that we cannot imagine. We will be dominated by fear, we will develop fewer and fewer relationships around us, we will have a bizarre and paranoid behaviour. And, little by little, we will separate ourselves from love and the true meaning of being human and good.
But we are humans. We have the duality in our system, just like Yellow: we have good and bad parts. On one hand, Yellow stands for freshness, happiness, positivity, clarity, energy, optimism, enlightenment, remembrance, intellect, honor, loyalty, and joy, but on the other, it represents cowardice and deceit. A dull or dingy yellow may represent caution, sickness, and jealousy.
It is our duty to transform the negative behavior, the negative feelings in something shiny.
So, we can take Yellow and its benefits and create enthusiasm for life. We can awaken greater confidence and optimism. Our souls should be full with love and harmony. We will have to take care of the yellow nest inside us (the house of the soul) and offer it balance and security. This center of ours must grow beautifully in order to shine in one day. Just like Yellow." |
