Artist Statement

This artwork explores the emotional tension between quiet and pressure through the use of a muted palette and sharp contrasts. The dark navy serves as a weighted foundation, representing pressure, while off-white and faint peach create a calming, quietly spaced backdrop that offers contrast. The collision of color occurs predominantly from the center expanding outward, where the quiet tones push against the darker pressures, suggesting a struggle and a release in the flow. The layout evokes a symmetry that gradually breaks down at the edges, embodying the seed's themes of shatter and clarity amidst confusion.
