Artist Statement

The emotional tone of this artwork juxtaposes 'quiet' and 'pressure', creating a dialogue of dense clusters against serene spaces. The palette leans on off-white, dust gray as quiet backgrounds, with accents of compressed red and dark navy representing pressure—these create a visual tension. The main collision occurs in the central region with tight, hard edges that contrast against muted fields, representing the clash between clarity and confusion. This abstract arrangement embodies the concept of 'hinge' as it pivots between states of calm and density, echoing the internal tug-of-war reflected in the seed.
