Artist Statement

The emotional tone suggests a struggle between vitality (spark) and a sense of decay (ash), creating a tension of vibrancy against a subdued background. The selected palette includes pale aqua for brightness, mist gray for tranquility, alarm red as an accent of energy, ink blue for depth, and clear white for openness. The main contrast occurs where the bright halo of pale aqua collides with the dense flood of mist gray, mimicking the tension between resilience and fragility, creating a visual dialogue that reflects the complexities of memory and erasure. This collision is placed diagonally, enhancing the feeling of movement and conflict across the canvas.
