Artist Statement

This composition captures the emotional struggle between control and surrender. The palette of deep teal, cosmic indigo, cold gold, and void black creates a haunting atmosphere, with colors reflecting a tension between containment and overflow. The central contrast emerges from the thick outlines of the control pattern interspersed with softer, flooded regions of surrender, symbolizing the balance of pressure and release. The pattern rises with a focal convergence in the center, suggesting hope amidst chaos.
