elissa zarzour, Sunshine Yellow (September Theme: Travel)

The yellow colour in, “Sunshine Yellow” depicts how materialism can evoke a sense of joy- as yellow is depicted as a happy colour. This has been crafted through golden lighting by a lampshade- artificially mimicking sunlight- positioned diagonally on the objects. However, the photograph was not captured using real sunlight to represent how the joy of materialism is artificial and unsatisfying- unlike the sun. Moreover, the yellow objects wrapped by a blue ribbon represent humanity embracing the items into a hug exemplifying our attachment to them.
