I thought this would be the best painting to explore how feelings of enlightenment or serenity would sound like as the other paintings felt too boxed in with what their artists were depicting and therefore restricted what I could make as an experimental sound piece. When I look at Yellow Red Blue, I can tell that Kandinsky would've most likely experimented with some psychedelic substances in the past to create such abstract and colourful imagery.
