There are many different forms of art that can represent and evoke empathy. An example of "painting"
An artist can trigger an emotional reaction in the viewer through her choice of colors, shapes and compositions. This can create empathy for the people or situations depicted.
This is one example, but there are many other ways in which empathy can be expressed in art.
"The black gauze is 2.50 meters long and 2.00 meters wide, a black material that is nevertheless transparent at a distance.
Red circles are sewn onto it, which are painted with various red gradients. The circles are connected with different lines and painted and printed on top of each other. The message is important. Human encounters support us, accompany us in the family in our circles of friends and in special short-term encounters. The contrasts between the black fabric and the red and moving white shapes have a reinforcing effect.
The black gauze represents the darkness and complexity of human emotions and the resulting experiences are symbolized. The red round shapes stand for encounters and empathy. There is a connection to Tao theory through the depiction of fire, with fire symbolizing transformation and change.
