Title: TWO OF CUPS
Post by: droqen on January 22, 2025, 02:47:57 PM
a pair of cups are surrounded by a white box. on the right of the box, a green-and-white character reaches for the cups. on the left, a more abstract orange-and-yellow character mirrors the other, performing an unknowable action. this takes place in a forest surrounded by formless grey.

the two cups, representing emotion, are as close as cups can get. each artwork is made of 11 tiles horizontally; in order to center this pair of objects, the two cups each share half of a central tile. the characters are caught, too, halfway between tiles -- between the cups' union, and the world outside.

maybe the grey that surrounds is a fog, which the powerful light of the cups clears. or perhaps it is the outside world falling out of focus, diminishing and disappearing.

a pure and illuminating union of emotion between two. all else may not be visible.
