Creativity Every Day idea suggestion Dark

Hope everyone is having a great New Year. As promised here is one of my most recent pieces of fiber art. I call it Empathy and it is around 22 X 14 stretched onto wooden bars. It is a quilted piece- meaning it has three layers -the middle being batting.

I think this piece fits the meaning of dark as I get a somber mood when looking at the work even though it has some happy colors. I feel as though it is almost a response to the recent shootings our nation has suffered. Some people instantly have great empathy for others and you can tell it when they are children. Others I think we have to work with to help teach them to be more empathetic. If you click on the image, it will open up to be larger.
