Culture • Ringo Tang — “Colour of Breath”
“Colour of
Breath” is an ongoing project
that Ringo began last June, starting with
primary colours. He would develop one unique
colour per day for pleasure. Inspired by the Hindu
concept of seven Chakras, different colours stands for
emotions, subconsciousness, spiritual and physical state of a
human being, like a connection to the pulse of the universe. The
Sanskrit word chakra translates to a wheel or disk, meaning the wheels of
energy throughout your body. To understand the Chakra colours, first you
would have to understand colours. Now, the main seven chakras run up the
spinal cord and ending at the crown of the head. Each chakra has their own
colour, too, follow by red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and violet. So
how does this development works? “I generated the colour rings digitally on my
computer. Each colour has seven steps of density from outside towards to the
heart. The centre point is white, meaning when all colours hit the brightest point,
it is also white!” Ringo explained. Ringo believes that everyone wears their own
aura and own colour. “They should have an equal shot at reaching their dreams.
So what is the aura, colour and dream that represents you”, Ringo asked. So
colours after all equals uniformity, portraying no differences between in or
out, inhale or exhale. The exact point of each colours remains the same. To
Ringo, the beauty of developing colour is like the journey to life, painting
up the world with colours in this time of pandemic. Pandemic is yet a
reminder to us that there is nothing more important than the
strength we have in unity. Even though freedom of mobility
has been restricted, yet no one can assemble one’s
freedom in the space to create art. The admiration
of “Colours of breath” is indeed a soothing
way to put your mind at ease on a
spiritual level.
