The Feeling Project is a portrait series exploring core emotions through the expressions of people rendered in monochromatic blue. Each painting invites viewers to sit with a single feeling and consider its presence, power, and place in everyday life.
The use of a single color emphasizes emotional nuance, stripping away distractions to focus on gesture, expression, and tone. These works aim to hold space for what we often suppress—capturing raw emotional states with honesty and intensity.
