mini feeling sculptures | Artmind

I found something wonderfully CREATIVE to share with you today: a mini sculpture series called "99 Feelings" by artist Mitsy of ARTMIND in Belgium. What began as a simple shape—a stout, friendly babushka-like figure—was transformed into "a feeling, seen." About one of them, she explains:

This ceramic art object is part of my ‘99 feelings’-project.
It derives from a project I did many years ago reflecting my self-portrait.
I called it ‘how the outside can tell how you feel inside’.
I started out with 9 feelings and then I suddenly thought of making 99 of them...

Now, I am not a super sensitive person, but these "feelings" are just so CLEVER.

I think any designer's goal is to provide as much information as possible in as simple and concise a way as possible, and these little guys really pack a punch. It must be why I love them.

Anyway, a few of my favorites are below. (As I was making the labels for the sculptures, I was thinking about how fonts can be just as descriptive...just not nearly as cute.)

P.S. Isn't it also amazing that Pinocchio's nose has become a universal symbol of deceit? See 3rd row, 8th column. A simple image can be so powerful!
