Yellow Art

Husband and I were feeling creative, so we each took a turn at making some spontaneous modern art. The idea is to sit down and move your hand. Create something off the top of your head with no preconceived notions. We used Photoshop (less messy, plus an "erase" button for missteps a canvas wouldn't forgive). After we were done, we stepped back and gave a take on what each other's art "meant."

H's interpretation: You see how your edges aren't hard? They're flexible, expanding outward, as if reaching out, wanting more. It means you're a creative person that is constantly wanting to learn and expand as a person. The blue circle in the middle has a hard outside edge, it's unchangeable. That's the core of who you are.

V's explanation: I was thinking about the emotion of realizing you're not invincible. You can be a bright, shining star, but there will always be an obstacle to hold you back in this cruel world.

Difference of Perspective by H. Morsse

V's interpretation: Thoughts aren't just right (white), wrong (black) or compromises (gray). Some are completely new, innovative and forward-thinking (yellow). These are the thoughts that form the future.

Husband's explanation: The white rectangle can only think in "white," completely engulfed in himself. The black rectangle can only think in "black." They'll stay that way forever, unaffected by the yellow around them. They are both small, while the big one is gray. He can see both the "white" and "black" because he is bigger. But all three are so engulfed in themselves that they can't see the beauty that surrounds them, thus they will never change.
