There is a theory that suggests the existence of five basic emotions, from which all other emotions we experience emerge. This series presents different perspectives on these five emotions: fear, anger, joy, sadness, and disgust.
The series portrays everyday objects interacting with words that relate to these emotions. Fear can cut through dangers, anger can move us, disgust can filter, joy can make us appreciate achievements, and sadness can connect us.
Here, I bring new possibilities to look at everyday objects and actions to represent also everyday emotions, an experimental, almost abstract, character of typography, and the importance of reflecting on our emotions.
