About the Item
SALT AND PEPPER
2014
12" x 12" x 3" each
neon, plexiglass
SALT AND PEPPER looks at human emotions thru the lens of emoticons.
Emoticons are combinations of punctuation marks and alphanumerics that, put in a certain order, create pictograms of human faces, mimicking offline facial expressions. Thru their extremely simplistic form, they are able to transcend language and cultures, becoming a universal way to represent deep human feelings.
In SALT AND PEPPER, the artist plays with the combination of the two punctuation marks ":" and "(" that, depending on the order they are placed, express either happiness or sadness. A simple permutation of two punctuation marks brings the viewer on the two extremes of the emotional spectrum. The neon balances monotonously between happiness and sadness, a reminder of how delicate and ephemeral human emotions are.
