The Fear Project is a visually stunning; light-hearted; and compelling visual exploration of the fears people confront in their daily lives. For many years artist Julie Elman has collected common and not-so-common fears people have shared with her. Elman transforms the fears from words into multi-media collages full of color and intensity. The fears include death; failure; losing a child; losing ones voice; losing ones mind; centipedes in the shower; needles; cancer; speaking honestly with ones spouse; seaweed; getting arrested at Disney World; biscuits and clusters of small holes. The resulting work presents a wide range of emotions while subtly endorsing the spirit of confronting; releasing; and moving on from fears. #34;I have learned that #39;Onward! #39; is a word with a lot of power behind it; #34; writes Elman. When presented with these tangible interpretations of our deep fears; we will often feel less burdened by them. Fear is a universal emotion; this is an inviting; visually arresting; and unusually light-hearted treatment. Those looking for an antidote to the news or a follow-up to Humans of New York will appreciate Elmans quirky; magnetic; uplifting images.
