Collection: Grey

observer | silence | beginning

Grey represents a state of non-involvement and detachment. It acts as a border or partition between contrasting areas, like a demilitarised zone. Choosing grey as a favourite color indicates a desire to shield oneself from external influences, remain uncommitted, and to have a rest from external stimulus.

I WANT TO KNOW MORE

Grey is the only color in the color pallet which does not interfere with other colors, it is completely neutral, and lets other colors be themselves and behave how they want to.

Grey is also associated with an element of concealment and is often chosen when someone wishes to stand aside and watch themselves go through the motions without genuine involvement. To take a position of observer.

Baumann, describing the Chokwe tribe from Eastern Angola, claimed that for these people, "white is the color of life, health, moonlight, and women”.

For Wassily Kandinsky, white is a symbol of a world where all colors, all material properties, and substances have disappeared. This world stands so high above humans that no sound reaches from there. White is great silence, a cold and infinite wall, a musical pause, a temporary but not final conclusion. This silence is not dead but full of possibilities and can be understood as "nothingness" preceding the beginning and birth (similar to the meaning of white in the Ndembu culture as a symbol of new birth).
