Emotions

Description

"we often associate this state with such dull monochromes.
So many painful emotions we feel grey and drained; Out of any color and empty.
While pain in itself is not emptiness- its a force that pressures your body and pours out whatever it held in.
While emotions themselves arent really grey - they are more like colors, all different in meaning, all messed up and and out of control, dancing in a chaos. It is only grey when you are out of them, when youre devoid of any emotion. There is no color, no life. 

That whirlpool of colors thats gone out of order, mishmashed against each other, and pouring, makes me think about how it is portrayed in art:

why is that such color bleeds from the inside so vibrantly, yet all we can see is grey, all we do is grey,;
Of course i know the answer for that. Thats what pain does, it locks you away sometimes. It blinds you. It reminds you about that deceiving emptiness;

But what if there was a different answer  that lies in taking these locked away colors, and by that use them to paint something that reminds us the opposite of the grayness pain inflicts. Take these emotions, bend them to something else. Something that reminds us we did not fully reach that state of endless monochrome emptiness.
A reminder we hold color in us, be them in state of chaos or not -  they're still usable to paint a better picture if we're capable.

They are still colors- they'are alive. They show youre alive too. "

An idea that popped in my head after some late night thinking, the drawing focuses on the deceiving grayness that makes us feel empty inside while really the force of emotions that swirls inside us is overflowing.
Color plays a very symbolic part in this drawing as it represents these emotions and how so many of them pour out despite feeling "empty".  No color coming out from body wounds because they are in a way solid and not controllable by emotions. but are CAUSED by them.

I want to do an experiment with myself  next time i decide to vent out; I wont include any monochrome and dark tones, but instead use these colors that swirl inside of me and see if venting out with pure color will have a reverse influence on how i feel; And see if it is capable of reviving some emotion that seemed lost at the time.
