Ferment 3.26 minutes 2006

How do we know how we are feeling? We have little control when strong feelings sweep us away, overwhelming us and causing havoc in reasoning. The lack of awareness of emotional feeling can also be damaging as awareness of our emotions. The ability to read emotions in both others and ourselves is central to empathy and social understanding. 

On the other hand, powerful emotions can simmer beneath the threshold of awareness, impacting on how we perceive and act, even though we have no idea they are at work. “FEEL:FERMENT” highlights the emotions fermenting under the surface, emphasizing how often we don’t know how we are feeling.
