Artist Statement

The emotional tone of this piece contrasts the quiet with intense pressure, using a palette that balances muted colors with sharp accents. Dark navy suggests depth and weight, while faint peach offers a soft counterpoint. The main collision occurs in the center where the tidal pressure of compressed red attempts to push against the quiet field of off-white, creating a dynamic interplay between density and openness. This collision reflects the seed's intent to navigate the tension between clarity and confusion.
