Emotional Transparency

Emotional Transparency invites viewers to explore the layered nature of emotion. At first glance, the overlapping red, blue, and yellow text appears chaotic, mirroring how emotions can feel overwhelming or difficult to decipher. Using a red-blue filter, viewers actively reveal hidden messages. The red lens uncovers “Let Yourself Feel!” and words like sadness, loneliness, and guilt, encouraging acknowledgment of difficult emotions. The blue filter reveals “But don’t let emotions define you,” alongside anger, fear, and anxiety. Yellow background words represent hope, trust, and gratitude, offering emotional balance.

The interactive act of filtering becomes a metaphor for emotional reflection: just as viewers separate and decode overlapping messages, they’re invited to slow down and distinguish their own layered feelings. This engagement transforms passive viewing into active participation, making emotional awareness a personal experience. Emotional Transparency emphasizes that emotions are not static or singular—they coexist, intersect, and evolve. Through visual play and physical interaction, the piece encourages deeper self-awareness, showing how understanding the complexity of our emotions can enrich relationships, empathy, and personal well-being.
