- Most people associate colours with their own personal preferences, experiences, upbringing, cultural and contexts
- In Disney, the colours affect the audiences' perception of character and personality - The image below shows a random pick of 22 Disney heroes and 22 Disney villains and their most dominant colour - In my own practice, I would like to associate different colours to my friends Tree- Perfect example of how to live, grow, transition, change and even die with grace
- Tree symbolism is a way of classifying, identifying and organising the array of energetic knowledge they contain and incorporating this array in our daily life - Tree: antiquity and immense and enduring strength, also protection - Tree: recovery from illness, ambition or wishes fulfilled, thing having to do with family, blessings of nature, good fortune, stability, shelter and security Trees represent growth and development, sticking from its soil (their origin), while reaching towards the sky, the sun and the moon (a brighter future, new experiences and opportunities)
-> I would like to use trees to represent the relationship between me and my friends -> If the branches are reaching upwards, it would mean that our relationship is continuing and reaching a brighter future, where we would experience new adventures ahead of us -> However, if the branches are falling downwards, it would suggest that our relationship has fallen, and is back to where it came from |
