Artist Statement
The emotional tone of this piece captures the tension between pressure and quietude. The palette blends soft, muted colors like faint peach and dust gray with darker, compressed shades of red and navy, illustrating a struggle between weight and softness. The main collision occurs along the diagonal, where intense dark colors intersect with lighter tones, symbolizing a point of shatter against the gentle tide. This arrangement mimics an outward spiral, allowing density to cluster in one area while gradually releasing into spaciousness, evoking feelings of compression and subsequent release.
