Diffusion

This series of paintings shows how emotions and feelings can diffuse between two people in a close relationship, even if one person is the source. Just as in scientific diffusion, where molecules naturally move from an area of high concentration to low concentration, emotions can spread from one person to another, affecting the dynamics of the relationship. It highlights how interconnected emotional states can be in relationships, where one person’s mood can influence another. Diffusion (Latin diffusio - spread, spreading, scattering, interaction) is the process of mutual penetration of molecules or atoms of one substance between molecules or atoms of another, which usually leads to equalization of their concentrations throughout the occupied volume.
