The Frequency Series capture the essence of interaction through color as explored by Josef Albers. In this work, the use of vibrant hues and subtle gradients evokes a sensory experience that goes beyond visual perception. The interaction of colors creates a dialogue, instigating a dynamic interplay that can provoke a range of emotions.

Albers believed that color does not exist in isolation. In this painting, contrasting colors are placed in close proximity, generating a tension that resonates with the viewer.

The frequencies of color play a crucial role in this emotional response, akin to musical notes in a melody. As the eye moves across the surface, different frequencies of light and color interact, yielding layers of meaning and sensation that can stir joy, contemplation, or nostalgia.

Ultimately, this artwork serves as a testament to Albers' principle that color is a language of interaction. It reveals how colors can resonate deeply within us, shaping our emotional landscape.
