#Mood

By Vivian Xing (Gallatin BA ’22)

#Mood is a continuation of my exploration of storytelling still life photography. As I have always been interested in how different colors are associated with a specific type of mood, I incorporate the theme of color in this series of images to showcase different emotions/states that I go through. The process of making this series allows me to slow down my everyday life and refocus on my inner self. These images are an honest analysis of my mental states throughout the project. By presenting this project, I encourage viewers also to take some time, pay attention to their inner feelings, and embrace them.

Vivian Xing is a sophomore at Gallatin, originally from China. Before transferring to Gallatin, she studied photography and sociology. Now she is exploring the intersection of art, business, and sociology, which mainly focuses on how to use visual art and design as conversation starters for social problems. With a keen awareness and genuine care of the environmental, economic, and social problems brought by capitalism, Vivian is always questioning what changes we could make collectively and how visual strategies could encourage changes in consciousness around those issues.
