Planet X is part of Sadkin’s Mind Maps series. In this series, the artist looks at how emotions like anxiety, joy, depression and love affect creativity; and how colors affect the brain. Most of her Mind Maps series used circular-shape canvas, but Sadkin created her first rectangular planet with Planet X. She found it interesting that she was still able to keep this planet mobile with movements of elements, despite the change in canvas-shape. “It really makes me question, what is it about these paintings that take me so far away… to a different galaxy.”
