Artist Statement

The emotional tone grapples with the push and pull of defiance versus submission. The selected palette of black, dark violet, soft gold, and pale green offers a juxtaposition of darkness against light, capturing the complexities of these contrasting feelings. The main contrast surfaces through dense clusters of dark colors that create a sense of weight and gravity, interrupted by lighter hues—soft gold and pale green—representing the fragile nature of hope amidst struggle. The pattern flows from left to right, mimicking a sense of movement and tension, while maintaining negative space to evoke a feeling of unresolved emotion.
