- Color is everywhere.
We use it in branding, interiors,
immersive spaces, architecture, and sculptures
like this beautiful chromatic gate right behind me,
but color is so much more than all of this.
Color is a deeply-rooted a universal language.
We're wired to communicate and connect with visuals.
In fact, about 90%
of the information our brain transmits is visual,
and our brains process visual 60,000 times faster than text.
Color is the first step into communication.
Before we even learn how to read,
we begin to associate colors with shapes and objects.
On a global scale,
we use color on street signs to direct traffic.
While we may not understand the language,
we're able to recognize a stop sign by its shape and color.
In the animal kingdom, we see color communication
as a way to attract mates or trigger warnings.
Think of the glorious peacocks to the vibrant coloring
on the poison dart frogs that scream danger
or the magnificent color display of the cuttlefish.

if you already can't tell, I'm obsessed with color,
but to me, it's not so much of a fashion statement
as it's about the feelings associated with different colors.
I wear these colors
because it evokes a certain emotion for me.
