MOVEMENTS IN RED

Ciarra K. Walters, Untitled (The Valley, California), 2021

During a solo, seven-day cross-country trip, I performed and photographed myself across eight states, three national parks, and two state parks. This would be my first self-portrait serious shot in color, wearing monochromatic outfits, and channeling various energy centers known as the Chakras.
 

Each color represents a different Chakra. 

 

Red is for the Root Chakra, which regulates stability, safety, and survival.
Orange represents the Sacral Chakra, regulating feelings, creativity, and sexual energy.
Yellow represents the Solar-Plexus Chakra, regulating self-confidence, self-discipline, and power.
Green is the Heart Chakra, regulating how we love and receive love.

Focusing on these four lower Chakras, it gave way to grounding myself and connecting them to the three upper Chakras:
