Artist Statement

This artwork embodies the emotional tension between rage and calm, with cooler shades symbolizing containment and warmer tones breaking through as explosive accents. The selected palette of red, pale blue, and black reflects this contrast, with black holding a vast quiet space while red suggests active disruption, manifesting through jagged patterns. The primary clash occurs in the center, where hot colors collide with the calm blue, exploring the dynamics of pressure and release. The zigzag layout introduces a sense of motion that’s interrupted by quieter fields, evoking a sense of unease consistent with eroded symmetry.
