COLOR

October 25, 2024
Metallics have always intrigued me due to their dynamic nature… how they shift and change with the angle of light and the surrounding environment. For this project, I wanted to highlight the reflective and lustrous qualities of metallic objects and see how they interacted with the vibrant hue of yellow. My goal was to observe how the shiny, hard surfaces of metals could enhance or contrast with the warm, energetic properties of the color yellow.The process of mixing color with metallic textures taught me about the interplay between light, color, and surface. Metallic objects don’t just reflect light; they transform it, casting subtle shades and glimmers that shift the way a color is perceived. This dynamic quality brought an interactive component to my project, as the photos and objects would subtly change based on how light hit them and the angles from which they were viewed.‍This project was a step further in my journey of using color to represent aspects of myself and evoke specific emotions. Through the reflective and versatile nature of metallics, I found a new way to showcase the liveliness of yellow while adding layers of complexity and intrigue. The blend of metallic shine and bright color became a metaphor for resilience and radiance… a reminder that even within strong, polished exteriors, there is warmth and vibrancy waiting to be seen.For my color project I wanted to pair metallic objects and investigate their color and shine.
