    The different values of blue mixed together make me feel that two teenegers are flying and it is natural and comfortable. The use of reflection showed the scale between people and the mountain.

     The top of this item showed strongness, but in the button, it was made with dark blue tassel. “Stitched around the top of the heavy bag, so human in its replication of the boxer’s figure down to weight and muscle tone, is a painting that Gibson ran through the laundry on high heat three times at a moment of deep pessimism about his art.” The use of deep blue made people feel stressful, the word “blue” also meant sadness, then the button showed weakness. The conflict between strongness and weakness was one of the focus points.

     The blue and white color used by the Buddha makes the sense that the Buddha is not existing. “The Buddhist belief that the structure of the universe is inherently unstable and unpredictable coincides with quantum physics and finds its expression in the highly individualistic combinable nature of these photographs.”

     When I saw the Buddha, I imagined that it was in hell at first, because the dark blue color usually represents evil in my opinion. It catches people’s eyes and makes people get interested to know about it.
