Emotions through art – Mix Fix

Photo Gallery

by Giusy Carfora

The photography exhibition of Josie Carfora is a collection of street photographs taken in different countries: Greece, Turkey and Bulgaria. The photos narrate emotions that show we are all humans, all connected and not divided by imaginary borders.

Are the feelings that unite us across borders. Emotions move the world and turn the engine of history, determining our decisions or actions.

Emotional education and learning to identify and understand what one feels could be a valuable antidote to all those emotions acted out in destructive and violent ways: who can recognize and know what they think can manage them more easily.

Suppose our communication is, for the most significant per cent, visual. In that case, shapes and colors become, in addition to words, ideal tools for conveying and expressing with more awareness the emotions one feels.

Words never seem to be enough to describe a feeling or an ‘emotion that lives inside us, so we visualize what, beyond the imaginary boundaries of nations, makes us alive: States of mind.”
