Artist Statement

The emotional tone reflects the tension between longing and resolve—two contrasting states in a struggle for balance. The palette includes deep navy and sharp black for weight, with bright dim cyan and white as accents, suggesting potential and clarity amidst chaos. The main collision occurs at the center, where dense clusters of dark colors meet lighter fields, representing the struggle between pressure and release. This is visually organized in a broken frame layout, allowing fragments to leak through, echoing feelings of unresolved emotions. The patterns of teeth and radial forms embody both the sharpness of longing and the steadiness of resolve, creating a rich narrative throughout the square.
