PRINT PRESS RELEASE//
 
The series Waves of eMOTION is about memories specifically the ones that trigger emotions. These emotions/feeling come in motion much like a tidal wave-eMOTION -a true play on words. These “waves” come with energy and force (like a tsunami) leading to a destruction-however, I perceive this as an emotional outlet and a driving force to live-water is essential to life and if you survive these bursts you thrive. My recent trip to Hawaii inspired me, expressly its magnificent waves struck me- their unruliness of no mercy much like emotions, yet water/waves always bring me peace and back to tranquillity, its my elixir-their motion, their noise. Colours have been traditionally associated with different feelings/emotions. Everyone’s association with colours and meaning will be different but the interpretation is what will make the print special to the viewer. I started the series in traditional blue colours for waves (ocean), then experimented with all the palette by overlapping the colours of the print to create like a montage of emotions-like an array full spectrum of feelings. The fact that there is more than one wave (like in nature), is like vignette sequence and I wanted to create the illusion of a story -suggesting a build up.
