While trekking through the seemingly endless terminal of the international airport, I happened across this striking hallway. The morning light had bathed the otherwise unremarkable hallway in varying stripes of bright saturated light. Even though the colors were on the warm end of the spectrum, the simple tinting of the windows gave the space a comforting sense of oasis from the otherwise harsh utilitarian architecture of the terminal. The way that just a simple design element managed to transform this hallway into an attractive space reminded me of how even basic artistic contributions can make big impacts on how we perceive and enjoy the world. As artists in our different ways, we all are passionate about our work and hope that our creations make some kind of connection with those who get to experience them. To me, this is just a small reminder that even simple things that we do can make big changes in what others perceive and enjoy.
I think this is my favorite post from you - it mixes wonderfully ideas behind light and color with your art and how you perceive the world. I love that you say that without the light and color that the space would seem industrial but such a simple gesture made it welcoming - nice post!
