emotions of the light and shadow

inspired by the sunlight reflections on buildings I saw during the dérive practice, they caught me for quite a while in the street, and made me feel released and disconnected from the rushing reality (while still standing in it).
I tried to reflect the emotions humans have in such vehicles later in the development of this project. I attempted to represent the emotions by recreating the light reflections with colour, at this point, the ‘lights on the paper’ became something half-natural and half-artificial, just as the way (we might be taught to) cope with negative emotion - you fight back, deny it and state you are fine even from it. but if you let it be and try to accept it, better scenes are ahead.
