Story of "Value Emotion" by Ronald Riboet

"Value of Emotion" by Ronald Riboet is a profound reflection on the intrinsic power of feelings. The artwork portrays how emotions are uniquely personal, shaping our experiences and perceptions. We cherish our emotions because they connect us deeply to the world—whether through joy, sadness, love, or pain—and yet we also often use them as a guide in our actions. Riboet emphasizes that emotions are mirrors of what we see, feel, or do, and conversely, our perceptions and actions are reflections of our inner feelings. The true essence of value, as the artist suggests, is hidden within these emotions—they carry the deepest meaning and significance of our lives. The piece invites us to recognize that understanding and embracing our emotions is key to discovering what truly matters, for their worth is often concealed beneath the surface, waiting to be uncovered.
