Artist Statement

The emotional tone reflects the conflict between control and surrender, with the top half emphasizing structured patterns in darker shades, while the bottom half dissolves into lighter, fragmented forms, representing a release. The chosen palette of warm whites, soft pinks against stark black and grey illustrates the struggle between feelings of confinement and the desire for freedom. The main collision occurs at the midline, conveying tension and interruption as darker colors meet lighter shades, suggesting a moment of transition and emotional overflow.
