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.

Esmeralda Kosmatopoulos
Esmeralda Kosmatopoulos is a multi-disciplinary conceptual artist. She has lived her life surrounded by unique cultures—born in Greece, raised in Paris—she now lives and works in NY. Her work investigates the definition and construction of identities, personal memories and collective histories in the digital age. Influenced by the increasing interplay between physical and virtual spaces, Kosmatopoulos decontextualizes everyday objects, cultural symbols and behaviors and translates them into the Internet and social media world. Her work has exhibited in the United States, Canada, Europe and Latin America. Kosmatopoulos also worked alongside socially charged entities such as the Organization of American States (OAS) to create large-scale installations that raise awareness on social issues.
