THE COLOR OF LIFE
THE COLOR OF LIFE The Color of Life is a photo exhibit that takes the viewer on a journey through eight (8) themes that are depicting the “little boy” discovery of "The Color of Life" through a kaleidoscope of very colorful flowers.
The little boy imaginary journey ("voyage imaginaire d'un petit garcon") begins with the contemplation of flowers against the blue sky, then continues with the discovery of the beauties of this world, getting closer and much more intimate with the sujects until different values and natural wonders lay a new path for his journey. As the fall settles down, the colors are now pure black and white. The little boy is now dreaming and an imaginary world of perpetual colors appears, bright and intense.
See below for a preview of the eight themes that serve as a "guide" to "The Color of Life" exhibit and the little boy journey.
Looking Up
Looking Up
Flowers reach upward, dance on the breeze, perfume the air.The sky is a great blue canvas and nature is the painter. “I am so very small.”The little boy looks up.
Proud
Proud
Alone she stands, proud and slim.Her graceful curves gloriously adorned in elegant velvet.“My life’s quest-- to find her!” The little boy awakens.
Dress Up
Dress-Up
Dreaming of the girls in their dresses, petticoats showing, cascades of orange chiffon, stilettoes, and tousled hair.Girls’ night out!The little boy dances.
Intimacy
Intimacy
Close enough to see the curves and feel the downy softness.Soft light from behind reveals intimate details beneath the sheer skirt. Intimate details are revealed. The little boy blushes.
Sparkling
Sparkling
A light rain has scattered diamonds and pearls across the field.“It’s magic!” The little boy is spell-bound.
Siblings
The siblings
Siblings, many blooms from sturdy stock.Caring for each other.Young ones admiring the elder.“When I grow up, I will be like you!” The little boy is safe and happy.
Show Time
Show Time
Dusk comes and color fades. The full beauty of maturity is revealed in the twilight, as the lusty day is lost. “I am sad and afraid of the dark.”The little boy is strong and brave.
Couleurs à jamais [forever]
The black of night yields to fantasy and imagination.The blooms of dreams unfold in fantastic, impossible colors.“who has painted you, my beauties?” The little boy dreams.
