A Reflection

There is no solved outcome for this research, the outcome exists as a change in habit. A habit of dressing in ‘quiet’ colours has been broken by pushing myself out of the comfort of my current wardrobe. More often than not, the reflections I wrote on return of the walk were positive, I felt good in the colours. Involved in this process were those that know me best, as I put on the all-pink outfits they noted my personality changed, a sort of new persona was taken on, it masked my identity and allowed me to have fun, in other instances such as the all-yellow outfit the reaction was a laugh met with a comment suggesting it was very unlike me and didn't suit my complexion. Yet I now find myself making conscious choices in choosing colourful items of clothing when getting dressed in the morning and as we still exist online for the most part, I find myself making the choices in order to fill my tiny square on Zoom with colour, for that is what I could be recognised for that day.

 

This change in physical and emotional habits is something that I hope this project brings to others too. By placing the 8 days on this website, the images and documentation are available as a colour archive with the hope that others reflect on their own relationship with colour and clothing, chromophobe or not.
