In her project entitled 99 Feelings, Belgian artist Mitsy of the ArtMind Etsy shop explores the visual expression of emotions through her ceramic creations.
She has created 99 of them, demonstrating just the smallest portion of the vast amount of emotions a person can go through every single day. Using interesting textural techniques as well as shapes, cutouts and some coloring here and there, the artist presents each feeling as an entity in of itself, making it something tangible and thus, more manageable. Find your favorite emotions such as super, sexy, cute or giddy and surround yourself with positivity, or choose some of the more difficult ones such as depression, frustration and vulnerable and learn to overcome them.
The 99 Feelings project showcases the wide range of human emotions as art.
