Eleanor Rahim: Sum Total of Choice

Sum Total of Choice

I named this little painting Sum Total of Choice after hearing 'We are in fact the sum total of our choices' a line from the Woody Allen movie Crimes and Misdemeanors. I couldn't get it out of my head for a couple of days as I contemplated the major choices I've made in my life - which I am mostly happy with - and positively pondered the choices I need to make going forward. Displayed here at Archer's Hall Design Centre in Barbados, the painting is acrylic on panel (9 x 12inches, 22.8 x 30.5cm) and is finished with high gloss epoxy resin.

“As a Feng Shui consultant and integrative designer, I look for specific representation and metaphor in artwork. The first time I saw a piece of Eleanor’s work, [Fluid State] I was struck first by its movement, which can be very effective in energizing a particular area of one’s life or business if it is placed prescriptively. The other aspect which I found potent, is her use of color. Color interprets the ‘five elements’ or what is referred to as ‘agents of change’ in feng shui. 'Fluid State' is primarily whites and blues - the metal and water elements. Metal represents virtue, communication, joy and creativity. Water is associated with wisdom, one’s path in life and finances. I immediately thought I love this piece and what a powerful adjustment it would make for my client.”
