Artist Statement

The emotional tone reflects the delicate balance between control and surrender through layered contrasts and textures. The palette evokes softness and tension: pale mint and faded gold signify yielding, while storm gray and near-black introduce depth and boundaries. The main contrast occurs in the center where warmer tones clash with cooler shades, creating a dynamic push-pull effect, which embodies the struggle between pressure and release. The arrangement collectively conveys a story of both confinement and gentle descent, mirroring the complexities of emotional states.
