CHROMA FLOW
Experience a soothing four-minute sensory meditation designed to rekindle inner serenity. CHROMA FLOW, inspired by the color field paintings of Mark Rothko, beckons visitors to immerse themselves in a harmony of color, music, and contemplation.
The colors captured in CHROMA FLOW are achieved without the use of lenses. Instead, the artist directly records to the camera's exposed sensor, allowing colors to manifest in their purest form. At a time when social and political distrust are prevalent, CHROMA FLOW serves as a four-minute daily reset for those seeking solace and reprieve from the discordant world around them.
