- Theme red -
For this and the upcoming videos and performances i mostly use the color red in my concepts and this is why: The spiritual representation of red is power, energy, vitality, dominance, action, assertion, creation, survival and passion. When a spiritual sign appears in your life that is red, it usually represents that you are ready to take action on a new goal or project that you have been putting off. The spiritual message is “have the courage to take action, and we’ll take care of the rest.” It catches the eye and makes you pay attention.
