Artist Statement

The emotional tone contrasts rage and tenderness, suggesting a struggle between density and release. The palette, featuring bold reds alongside serene whites and soft blues, embodies this duality. The main collision happens at the center, where dense red dots accumulate, representing rage, while softer blue tones with gentle gradients are pushed to the edges, allowing for visual tension. This arrangement evokes the seed's themes of emotional dichotomy, with the central area overfilled yet transitioning outward to calm, akin to how emotions can sometimes be overwhelming yet fleeting.
