Artist Statement

The emotional tone captures the struggle between desire and restraint, showcased through the use of a saturated palette that vibrates against muted tones. The contrast of hot coral and blood orange creates a vivid pull toward the grid's center, symbolizing desire. In juxtaposition, charcoal and hollow blue connect with the themes of restraint, establishing a boundary that resists expansion. The collision occurs centrally, where the split-screen and embers patterns intersect, illustrating heightened emotional tension. The grid structure remains legible, letting the intensity of colors speak to the complexities of feelings encapsulated in the seed.
