Collection during winter vacation
• red
About the red color, I collected the red clothes worn by the old lady who celebrated the opening of the shop, red envelopes for the Spring Festival, red balloons hung on the wall for her birthday, red envelopes, red clothes, Santa Claus, red Santa hat, red cars, red CARDS and so on.
I find that these colored objects are used in festive occasions, which indicates that red is the color suitable for celebration. So why do people choose red as the color of celebration when there are so many colors?
People will actually have relevant associations when they see colors. For example, black and gray will give people a very depressing feeling, or blue will make people feel very quiet, and colors will mobilize people’s emotions. People will feel the air is active and their mood will change with the change of the environment when they see the color red, which is so enthusiastic and has a high visual impact. This is also the reason why the red objects I collect are mostly used for celebration.
• metal
The metal objects that I collected were recorded by photos, including nails, hammers, coat hangers, iron railings, steel wire balls and so on.
These collected items are mainly used for protection and fixation.
Always give a person a kind of very solid metal and smooth feeling so metal objects are collected for more protection, metal bring security to the person, so the metal object is used to protect and defense, like metal knives and soldiers equipment metal armor are very classic representative, which is why the items metal objects are used for security. Cold tonal metal gives a person a kind of composed and sedate sense, if what collect is rusty thing so can give a person a kind of old feeling, this shows the metal of different state also can give a person different atmosphere
• Small
I ‘ve collected a lot of small things to take pictures of, like the root on the orange peel, the hard corn in the popcorn, the sawdust, the ants, and so on. They all have very small things in common. Though small in size, the little things I collected were many small things that could be combined into one whole thing. For example, the hair on a brush may be small but countless hairs of this size can make up a brush or every rebar in a huge building is a very important part. Small objects may be insignificant individually but no matter how small an object is, it can do its part. And there is never a qualitative standard for small, and the so-called “small” items I find can only be compared to my human volume. I may be a small object relative to the whole planet, but even a small one will have its meaning, won’t it?
