Contrast in One

I always felt uncomfortable to look at similar colors in close proximity. Like pink and red, orange and gold, yellow and gold–you get the idea.

But then, during my visit to Nepal, I saw this in an antique shop. It looked to me like a bunch of wall-hangings, and the colors jumped out at me. Under normal circumstances,  the entwined warm colors would have thrown me away. But perhaps it’s the subtlety of the material, it looked beautiful.
