Artist Statement

This piece embodies the emotional tone of uncertainty and anticipation, contrasting the firm boundaries of certainty with the inquisitive paths marked by curiosity. The palette features a cool base of pale aqua and mist gray, juxtaposed with the urgency of alarm red, allowing for dynamic tension. The main collision occurs in the center where structures of certainty meet the jagged interruptions of curiosity, creating a push-pull effect in the composition. The pattern reflects a blend of echoing order and sharp, curious disruptions, conveying the essence of rising tension and relief from dread.
