WEEK 8 - Rubí Danielle - Obsession

In terms of lighting, a color that communicates obsession to me, is the color red. The overall feeling that the color red conveys, is intensity. Red represents so many emotions such as love, passion, and lust. When someone is deeply enamored in these specific emotions, their intensity leads to obsession. A man can be so in love with a woman, that he becomes obsessed with her. Love is always represented by the color red, especially on holidays that are revolved around the theme of love, such as Valentine's Day. When Valentine's Day is approaching, stores begin to stock up their shelves with red cards, red teddy bears, red boxes of chocolate, and red roses for you to buy your loved one on this special holiday. There are many different forms of love, such as love for your profession, love for food, love for a physical activity, etc. Love can easily become an obsession, which can be perceived as either negative or positive. Obsession is viewed as something alarming, and the color red most certainly provides an alarming quality. Emergency lights on police cars use the color red when they sound their alarms, because it is a color that captures attention and provokes a sensation of intensity and panic. When I hear the word obsession, I immediately think of the color red, as it provokes all of the emotions that obsession offers. Red has always been my favorite color, as it makes me feel alive and it is a color that does not go unnoticed. When someone is wrapped up in obsession, their adrenaline is high, and their life feels like it is at its highest peak. Obsession is intense, and so is the color red.
