Artist Statement
The emotional tone oscillates between the deep, consuming feelings of envy and the uplifting warmth of gratitude. The contrast between dark reds and soft blues represents the tension between rage and calm, while the chaotic zigzag pattern mirrors the internal struggle. The selection of colors speaks to the heaviness of the emotions, with black and deep reds embodying weight, countered by pale blues that suggest lightness and relief. The arrangement allows asymmetry to reveal a center of imbalance, echoing the theme of centered vs. off-center, and accentuating the noise surrounding the central calm. The negative spaces break tension, allowing the viewer to breathe amidst the emotional waves.
