The other day, my friend and I went to a small gallery tucked away in an alleyway in North Melbourne, called Raglan Street Gallery, where we saw the artwork of local artist (well, local for us) Eddy Sara, and his exhibition 'Emotion.'Inspired by the works of author and psychologist Abby Seixas, his interpretation was to explore the different emotions and how one would deal with them. It was a small display, but the artwork was interesting, as the artist was "aiming, through my artwork, to be playful, to comment on the world around me, to philosophise, to bring a smile to your lips or start some ripples in your mind. It is my job to start the sentence and your job, if you choose to except it, to finish it."
Eddy Sara's work allowed my friend and I to think about emotions in a different perspective. Each piece of work personified a different emotion (to some extent) and in the title, you could see the underlying message of hope that was present.
