MOLECULES OF FEELINGS

Vivan is drawn to understanding feelings as molecules; she expresses them visually, each circle painted as a particle of feeling. Everyday is a cycle, and there is a feeling that involves constantly moving onto something else. This project portrays the daily activities that involve specific feelings that people don't see everyday.

WABI SABI

 Vivian became fascinated with the definition of Wabi Sabi: a view centered on the acceptance of transience and imperfection. She wanted to articulate that creatively, so she used dots to transcend a message in her artwork. Taking care of whats broken, used or old whether its a human relationship to an object, is an action so beautiful, zen, and important; it will carry on in people's lives forever.
