Artist Statement

This composition embodies the interplay between softness and severity, with the warm whites and powder pink representing softness encroaching from one diagonal, while the deep blacks and sharp crimson introduce a severe backdrop. The main collision exists at the center where contrast is most intense, symbolizing an emotional struggle, shaped by the seed's suggestion of an open gate but with a crack representing vulnerability. The lattice pattern signifies structural softness while the constellation pattern infers a chaotic severity, creating a rhythmic flicker of emotional tension across the grid.
