WEEK 6: A Power Statement

This is a picture of the corridor for the elevators at the Courtyard Marriot in Downtown San Francisco (I was here for URTA 2018). When I was about to head down to the lobby, the red quilted cushion got my attention. I also took the time to acknowledge this hotel's modern interior design and I was "digging" the black, gray, silver, and white colors with red accents here and there; they are my favorite hues and achromatic colors! I do not have a picture of my room, but it also followed the same design aesthetic. The small chandelier was not as harsh with lighting the corridor, but it also seemed a little dim in the surrounding. Seeing the red piece of furniture reminded me of embodying a power statement in one's living spaces. If there were an important element that needs to stick out on a set, I would utilize the color red in a space filled with achromatic colors. With the achromatic colors and the touch of red, I can see "power" in a sophisticated and classy space.

I also wanted to note how the portrait of the peacock was blue, and I found it quite fascinating how a cooler color was used along with the intense red bench and achromatic environment. It could have been seen as clashing, but I agree not.
