Ro Ho Fro

Gestures of loss and despair depicted by the Renaissance masters have developed into a heart-felt dramatic tool, a series of gestural signs that we can recognise and use as a visual language to evoke emotionality. Despite the overhauling of context from scenes such as The Lamentation of Christ, these gestures allow for emphasis on the pure sensitivity and emotionality in human connection. Through these archaic metaphors for pain and love, our stories can be understood and shared.

The Power of Gold and Blood

In times of despair, fiction becomes as important as reality, and the two work through metaphors to save what is being swept away. It is hard to communicate something which holds no set form, and it is then that archaic signs for loss and pain can be used as a visual language to help explain the uncertain.
