“The Life of Color” • hue • contrast • surface • structure • saturation • form

Color is not decoration. It is structure. It defines space, directs attention, and shapes how an image is read. From subtle tonal relationships to bold chromatic tension, color operates as both subject and system—organizing the visual field and carrying meaning across the frame.
